Hi Konna,
Thanks for reaching out Microsoft Community Forum. I know how annoying it is when your Python installation stops because of Administrator permission requests. I know it might be confusing if you’re not sure on how to proceed. Let me help to guide you navigate on how to run the Python installer with the correct permissions.
You may follow these easy steps to fix it:
**Step1: Run the installer as Administrator
- Right-click the Python installer file
- Then click “Run as administrator”
- And click Yes when the pop-up appears
- Then continue with the installation
Note: Just make sure to check the box that says “Add Python to PATH” before clicking "Install Now"
**Step2: Use the right installer
- You may go to the official site: https://www.python.org/downloads/
- Then you may download the correct version (64-bit or 32-bit) for your system
- And then run it as admin (see step 1)
**Step3: Use a user-only install (if no admin rights)
If you don’t have admin access:
- Run the installer normally (with no right-click)
- Then click Customize installation
- And on the next screen, you need to uncheck “Install for all users”
- Then continue with installation and this will install Python just for your user account
I hope this helps and works for you.
