Kconfig: Requires python 3.6.0 error

I know others have reported this issue, but I havent seen a reply that fixes it so here is another ticket with hopefully more info.

I have working nRF Connect SDK installations on Windows 11 desktops at home and work so I know your automatic setup should work.

I have just got a new Windows 11 laptop, and am trying to install 2.4.0 of the SDK. I am doing exactly the same steps as I did on my other machines, yet on this one I get the error about KConfig needing Python 3.6.

I have download nRF Connect for Desktop, installed the Toolchain Manager and then 2.4. Visual Studio opens up, but when I come to build anything I get complaints about missing Python.

I dont have any other Python versions on the laptop. So I can only assume that something went wrong in the python installation as part of the SDK. Opening a command prompt and typing "python" isnt taking me to the python command line and I dont have a Python folder in either the system path or my user accounts path. So can only assume it didnt install

Where should it be installed so I can check? If its not there, what version should I install? Latest and greatest Python to 3.6.0 specifically?

Thanks

Mat
