Hi,  I got python 11 to work with the esptool a few days ago.  However, I
must have something wrong, because now, when I enter any command with .py,
Windows Command Prompt just returns without doing anything.  Example

C:\Users\gregg>esptool.py version

C:\Users\gregg>

I tried to change the Windows default by filetype. but no luck.  Any
ideas?  Thanks

C:\Python311\python C:\Users\gregg>esptool.py version



Once you can get Python working by omitting the path, for example,

C:\Users\gregg>python esptool.py version

Prove it works in the command prompt by using the full path to python for example, If that works, look at your path environment variables and see where python is sitting. Substitute the real location of Python 3.11 on your machine. Sadly, I think it defaults to C:\Program Files nowadays. ... you can then right-click the .py file and choose whichever program you like to open with. I'm inclined to advise you to focus on getting virtual environments working next and leave all that auto-opening to later. You might find you prefer to right click and select every time.
