Not on my system. It may depend on whether Python gets installed to 
Program Files or to %USERPROFILE%/AppData/Local/Programs/Python.  Python 
3.9 is the last verson I installed to Program Files, and that's the 
version that Windows thinks it should use to run Python files.

Run the little test program I posted.  That will tell you which version 
of Python the system wants to use.
