During the installation, I chose to install Python in a non-default
location and to set the Environment variables.
The result of this attempt is shown below:

It looks as if the launcher is expecting to find Python installed at
c:\Program Files\Python3.10 whereas it has actually been installed at
D:\Users\jgoss\AppData\local\python\python3.10. It seems that the launcher
has not been updated to the latest installation location for python and
that it also needs to handle a non-default install location. The same
problem occurs if I take the install option to install to the default
location.
Is there any workaround as PIP is essential to my environment?
These days it's recommended that you use the Python Launcher and the pip
module:
py -m pip install pip --upgrade
