You're ending up rerunning the installer - this seems to have been
happening to quite a few Windows users recently. The program you're
launching is doing what it's intended to do - manage the Python
_installation_, but it's not Python itself.
Try launching Python from the start menu - navigate to "Python 3.9" and
start either "Python 3.9 (64-bit)" or "IDLE (Python 3.9 64-bit)"
depending on whether you want the bare interpreter or the IDLE
development environment,
or
From a command shell type "py" to activate the Python Launcher.
