Are you running windows seven? Notice that these new builds now use python 3.10 and python dropped support for windows 7 in version 3.9, it seems somebody found a workaround though: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 26#p615026

You also need to have update KB2533623 installed if I'm not mistaken

You're completely wasting your time, unless @looo is going to downgrade Python back to 3.8.x then it's not going to work on Windows 7.
As a Windows user and IT Support professional in the past since the late 80's I took the plunge a while back and dual booted with Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon though I'd recommend 20.3 at this current time. It'll be a bit painful to start with but if you search thoroughly there excellent resources such as https://itsfoss.com/guide-install-linux ... t-windows/ You'll be able to self compile FreeCAD far more easily IMHO than on Windows which means if you want to try the latest and greatest you can at any time of the day and not have to wait for the weekly builds. If you don't need such frequency and don't want to learn the self compiling you can use the AppImages. There's always downsides and the amount of typing does increase but Mint is the nearest I found to Windows as far shortcuts etc.

I tried to create both (py3.8 and py3.10) but it didn't work out of the box.

I was afraid of it!
I think it has generally become a very boring trend among, if not all, the majority of software developers,
computer manufacturers and others that as soon as there is a new version, they do not support the previous one.

solution from @jimmihenry (with a modified 64bit api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll) works ....
Here is the download link: https://github.com/nalexandru/api-ms-wi ... K/releases
Just place the 64bit "api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll" in FreeCAD's bin folder, and you should be good, hopefully. Please try it out maybe this is the issue.

there's 3 new versions after 7, not to mention that it is no longer supported by MS itself, so this is hardly the case. I don't know the details of why python dropped support so I won't defend their decision specifically, but IMO expecting everyone to work on keeping support for windows 7 is not reasonable. Note that I'm not advocating to go out of our way to deprecate windows 7 though.
