I did choose to add it to the PATH, and even double checked the variable manually.

The only way to get it to use my installed version was to disable that alias feature in the Windows 10 settings app.

That alias really is supposed to go away when you install Python from any install path (Store or classic EXE installer), but it does have more bugs with the EXE installer. (The alias feature is used more generally in Store installs, so it's more of a direct alias swap when installed that way.)
