[New-bugs-announce] [issue39051] Python not working on Windows 10

[Rafael Dominiquini]

New submission from Rafael Dominiquini <rafaeldominiquini at gmail.com>:

I have Python installed on my computer for a while now and everything worked fine. But today, I can't run it anymore:


    Fatal Python error: init_fs_encoding: failed to get the Python codec of the filesystem encoding
    Python runtime state: core initialized
    ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'encodings'

    Current thread 0x00007e84 (most recent call first):
    <no Python frame>


I have already tried to download the installer and use the "Repair" option, but even though the installation indicates that everything is fine, the error continue...

Attached is the complete terminal output:
