When I tried to make a python 3.8 virtual environment (which is my default python version) it gave a similar error (I don't remember the error but it is related to permissions only).
i ran
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force
to rectify the error and it worked, but now when I wanted to specify a particular python version using a path it is giving me an error
virtualenv --python="C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Python 3.7" "p37\env1"
RuntimeError: failed to query C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Python 3.7 with code 13 err: 'Access is denied'
Hope this gives some context
Just a syntax error. The suggestion is from documentation. Glad to know that your issue has been resolved.
