You're running pip from the store app distribution of Python 3.10.
Your settings have the store app set as the default for the "python"
and "pip" commands. To change this, open the system settings for "App
execution aliases" and disable the "python.exe", "pythonw.exe", and
"pip.exe" aliases. You might have to also disable the alias for
"python3.exe" if it's causing problems (e.g. if you don't want a
shebang like "#!/usr/bin/env python3" to run the store app). It
shouldn't cause problems to leave the "python3.10.exe" and
"pip3.10.exe" aliases enabled.
