That should have failed AFAIK (you didn't elevate). Does it work if you elevate when doing the install?

[rchiodo]

I can't reproduce this myself.

@rchiodo The pip package was successfully updated, but the other packages are missing. BTW, this only happens the first time the action is performed. (You can reinstall Python from the Microsoft Store to reproduce the issue.)
