You need to fix your version issue in Path,two install of python that should not mix up.

# The version you try to install to
C:/Program Files/Python37/

# The default path Python install to if not change Path under install setup
C:\Users\Kasper\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python37\ 

# Stop doing this
"C:/Program Files/Python37/python.exe" -m pip install -U pylint --user

# Only this
pip install -U pylint

Test from command line,they should have same root folder Path,and work from any folder if Windows Path is correct.
So if i do pip install pylint it will to version pip point to in test under.

# Test python
C:\data
λ python -c "import sys; print(sys.executable)"
C:\python37\python.exe
 
# Test pip
C:\data
λ pip -V
pip 19.2.1 from c:\python37\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.7)

In Environment Variables Path for me it look like this.

C:\Python37-32\Scripts\;
C:\Python37-32\

For more detail about this look at Python 3.6/3.7 and pip installation under Windows
