[New-bugs-announce] [issue45603] [Windows]

[Dean]

New submission from Dean <hl2guide at gmail.com>:

Running on Windows 10 Home PC, I'm running into an issue with Windows user account privileges and updating Python packages.

Upgrading a package (e.g. pip) with a lower-level user on Windows can result in a broken pip package (message of "no 'pip' package can be found").

It can be fixed by running (as admin):
python -m ensurepip

Then running an upgrade command as Admin.

Please consider enforcing Admin privileges for this action (upgrading packages).
