[issue39051] Python not working on Windows 10

FYI, none of this should set here. For a standard configuration, the installation directory should never be in the PYTHONPATH environment variable -- including the standard library (Lib & DLLs), site-packages, and Scripts.

The existing site-packages and Scripts directories should remain if you reinstall to "C:\Developing\Python". Either way, you don't really have a choice. The installation is broken.
