 Is that an approved location for executables?

Yes, that's where a python.org install normally goes. If you are changing the system paths, that location is the one to use. But if that's the location that the system links Python.File to, it should launch without a problem. Maybe you should remove the path steps you added previously and see if that clears up the problem.
First, though, try to run python using the absolute path you have just found.
BTW, it's always a good idea to run pip using the python install that you will be running.  So if "python" runs the right version, then invoke pip this way:
python -m pip
If you use the launcher, then:
py -m pip
This will make sure you use the version of pip that goes with your version of python, just in case there are other versions somewhere on the computer.
