🔒 Vscode debugger throwing the exception FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] for python311.zip after no

[brisk pollen]

I am testing modifications to a script in the Vscode debugger with breakpoints to test that the code is still behaving as intended. Suddenly, the debugger stopped working and began throwing the following exception:

FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified: 'c:\Users\(my name)\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\python311.zip'

I did not make any modifications to the script between the moment the debugger worked correctly and it started throwing the error. If I run the script normally, I do not encounter this error either; it only occurs when I launch it in debug mode. I have also tried reinstalling Python. I have no idea where to even begin fixing this problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.
