  1. Python will not let me right click and hit "Edit with IDLE". I have to search "IDLE" and hit on it in the search bar separately.
  2. Python programs shut down immediately after opening.

    Hi Christine Argabright,

    If you want to open python files with IDLE you can right click a .py file and select "Open with" - "Choose another app", then select the file \Lib\idlelib\idle.bat in your python installation directory.

    Best Regards,

    Hi Christine! Please check where you have downloaded Python from. If you have downloaded it from the web, I recommend you delete it and get the latest installation from the Microsoft Store. Moreover, you can download IDEs like Visual Studio Code or Pycharm Community Edition by Jetbrains to create/modify files. they have a more user-friendly interface and are free to use.
