(I'm using Windows 10 Enterprise 20H2 and I installed Python 3.9.7)

Install QT6 as follows:

Open Command Prompt as Administrator and execute the following:

  1. pip install pyqt6
  2. pip install pyqt6-tools

-- Now, in the Windows search bar, type in "View advance system settings" and select that option when it pulls up. This will bring up the System Properties window with the Advanced tab already selected.

-- Click on "Environment Variables..." near the bottom right to pull up the Environment Variables window. In the bottom section called System variables, double-click on "Path".

--In the newly opened window, click on "New" and enter in C:\Program Files\Python39\Lib\site-packages\qt6_applications\Qt\bin as a path.

Now, you can execute QT6 Designer from the command line and from the search bar just by typing designer. Voilà.
