pip stops waiting for python

[walker]

pip.exe is waiting for another process python.exe to finish.
This can happen if python.exe is currently running or using a file that pip needs to access.

Try to do this in cmd see if something change change,also try this after new restart of Pc.
If python.exe still run as process after restart,then something is starting it.

python -m pip --version
where pip # This should point to root python ...Scripts folder

Look at running python.exe in task manager where is placed Path on file system.
There should be no need for python.exe to run as process long time,if not program requires this.

pip.exe is located in the correct folder:
C:\Users\walker>where pip
C:\Users\walker\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\Scripts\pip.exe
As well as python.exe:
C:\Users\walker>where python
C:\Users\walker\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\python.exe
By starting pip.exe from the command window as usual, it remains blocked, from the task manager you can see that pip.exe is waiting for python.exe to complete a useful function for its activity, but the latter also remains stopped.
I checked carefully and there is no previously active python.exe task.
It would be ideal to be able to understand what python.exe is waiting for, to solve the problem.
