There's probably an issue with the way Windows launches the Python 
interpreter (or tries to do so) when double-clicking the script. Perhaps 
there is no corresponding association on your Windows 11, or maybe it 
points to another interpreter.

To figure this out, open a command prompt and in it cd to the directory 
where your script is (the easiest way to do that: put your cursor in the 
address bar in Explorer, replace the whole text that was there with 
"cmd" (without the quotes), then press enter. That should open a command 
prompt with the correct working directory.

Type the filename of your script, including the extension, the press 
enter. What happens? Does this work, or is there an error? If so, what's 
the error message?

If that didn't work, type "py <filename of your script>" (without the 
quotes). What happens? Does this work, or is there an error? If so, 
what's the error message?
