When installing Python 3.11.0 did you check the box "tcl/tk and IDLE"? 
(it's an option on the Python Windows installer).


I made sure to do that, and then this worked:

import tkinter
from tkinter import filedialog as fd
from tkinter.filedialog import askopenfilename
filename = fd.askopenfilename()
print(filename)

foldername = fd.askdirectory()
print(foldername)
time.sleep(3)
