[issue41365] Python Launcher is sorry to say... No pyvenv.cfg file

> it fails with this error means you're running a virtual-environment launcher instead of a base Python executable.

Exactly. It sounds like you probably searched for pythonw.exe and found the one in Lib/venv/scripts/nt instead of the actual one.

The default association should go to pyw.exe, which is likely in your C:\Windows directory.
