Python scripts not running on new pc

[Belowra]

Hi all, I’ve just set up a new vs code and python install on a new pc and am attempting to run my script from a folder structure that is cloud synchronised with the old pc. I have installed all prerequisites. When I attempt to run any script, including very basic tests, the cursor moves a line down and does nothing.

I eventually got some running in cmd running the code directly. Still, I have no success in vs code. Your assistance is most appreciated.

What basic scripts? Could you elaborate more about what you did to get the cursor to move a line? A script with just a print("Hello world!") shows the message in the console?

If you can run python and py commands on the terminal but not in VS, VS Code might not be using the correct Python interpreter. Make sure you have the extension installed and that a interpreter is selected (here is a detailed guide of how to do that)
