Yes, except the app versions installed from the Microsoft Store do
create appexec aliases for python.exe, python3.exe, and python3.x.exe
(e.g. python3.10.exe). The aliases for installed versions can be
toggled separately, so "python.exe" could be enabled to run 3.9, while
"python3.exe" is enabled to run 3.10. The same applies to the "pip*"
and "idle*" aliases.
