[Bug]: Whatever I do its trying to use a 3.12.x version that's not even on my PC

[rust-floppy]

Checklist

• The issue exists after disabling all extensions
• The issue exists on a clean installation of webui
• The issue is caused by an extension, but I believe it is caused by a bug in the webui
• The issue exists in the current version of the webui
• The issue has not been reported before recently
• The issue has been reported before but has not been fixed yet

What happened?

I'm trying to install this for the first time, I haven't had Python at all on my PC for months now.
I install python 3.10.6, its the only version existing on my pc:

path:

windows' control panel uninstall thingy (to show u I literally only have 3.10.6 installed)

but when I try to install this, based on the documentation: https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui?tab=readme-ov-file#automatic-installation-on-windows

then this is what error I get (mentioning that I have 3.12.4 BUT I DONT HAVE ANY VERSION OTHER THAN 3.10.6 :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD)

So what the hell can I do with this?

I've tried:

• uninstalling every single thing related to python
• restart pc
• install 3.10.6 version of python
• deleted venv folder and deleted python again
• installed 3.10.6 again
• did a "repair" with the python installer on 3.10.6

and it still has a stroke. Am I missing something?

INCOMPATIBLE PYTHON VERSION

This program is tested with 3.10.6 Python, but you have 3.12.4.
If you encounter an error with "RuntimeError: Couldn't install torch." message,
or any other error regarding unsuccessful package (library) installation,
please downgrade (or upgrade) to the latest version of 3.10 Python
and delete current Python and "venv" folder in WebUI's directory.

You can download 3.10 Python from here: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3106/

Alternatively, use a binary release of WebUI: https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/releases/tag/v1.0.0-pre

Use --skip-python-version-check to suppress this warning.

Python 3.12.4 | packaged by Anaconda, Inc.

Uninstall Conda/Anaconda if it's installed.

Otherwise, you can try setting the python version to use (or explicitly set the full path to the correct python) in webui-user.bat.

set PYTHON=python3.10.exe

Or try this: https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/releases/tag/v1.0.0-pre
Download and extract sd.webui.zip, run update.bat, then run.bat.

delete the repo and re-clone it. There's a python venv you're reusing.
