cannot update PIP

[tester_V]

Good evening!
I tried to search the forum for 'failing to upgrade PIP', but found nothing, probably searching in the wrong place...
Got a new work computer with W11, dear God! what piece of crxxx
Anyway, I install Python39, the default installation, with no errors. Used it for a couple of weeks and now need to install a module.
"file-read-backwards " during installation I was asked to upgrade PIP.
tried to run "python -m pip install --upgrade pip" - system does not know what the PIP command is
Found "pip" location:
C:\Users\BillClinton\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\~cripts
Nope! Here is an error:
Python was not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store, or disable this shortcut from Settings > Manage App Execution Aliases.

Any idea how to get around it?
I copied 3 PIPs from the "C:\Users\BillClinton\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\~cripts"
to C:\Users\BillClinton\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\scripts\
got the same error.
Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

I was trying to update the PIP and somehow it worked out. I tried so many different things one of them fixed it.
I do not know which one but I'm glad it did.

Thank you!
