Python 3.6 installation on Windows 10
#1
I installed Python 3.6 on my desktop with Windows 10. I put a shortcut on the desktop but when I double click it nothing happens. Advice would be greatly appreciated.

What are the shortcut properties? specifically the target?

I think that you installed it wrong!

Target is C:\Users\ac9459427\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Lib\idlelib\idle.pyw

Can't think how I could have installed it wrong since the instructions were pretty clear.

I was asking about the shortcut properties (right click on shortcut, choose properties)

The default path is correct,but is really bad so you should change it.
Follow this.
So make better location eg C:\Python36.
Make sure that that Add Python 3.6 to Path and pip is marked on.
Restart.
It will be menu here.

Did you install the 64 or 32 bit Python? Is your Windows 10 54 or 32 bit?
If it ain't broke, I just haven't gotten to it yet.
OS: Windows 10, openSuse 42.3, freeBSD 11, Raspian "Stretch"
Python 3.6.5, IDE: PyCharm 2018 Community Edition

I uninstalled and reinstalled and it now works. Did it the same way each time so no clue why it didn't work the first time. Now to do some tutorials! Thanks to all who responded.
