Python code restarts with different version

The problem is whenever I'm trying to restart my code with admin rights, it starts with python 3.7. Basically I just want to access admin rights not switching any versions. But according to my arguments and prints that I made, it should be python 3.12, which I currently use. I've tried using pyuac and some others options but it still has same result.

The code:

import win32com.shell.shell as shell
import win32con
shell.ShellExecuteEx(
    lpVerb='runas',
    lpFile='"' + sys.executable + '"',
    nShow=win32con.SW_NORMAL,
    lpParameters=' '.join(args)
)

The command that i used: C:\Users\Username\PycharmProjects\My-project>python3.12 main.py "-startAsAdmin"

Python before restarting: C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.12_qbz5n2kfra8p0\python.exe

Python after restarting: C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.7_qbz5n2kfra8p0\python.exe

How about omitting using Python from your PATH and instead setting up a virtual environment and using it to execute your code.

This way you would force the interpreter to use a Python version defined by you instead of one of a set of versions stored in the path.
