Unable to select Python Interpreter

[thisisjaymehta]

VS Code version

1.63.2

Extension version

v2021.12.1559732655

OS type

Windows

OS version

10 - Version 21H2 (OS Build 19044.1415)

Python distribution

Anaconda

Python version

3.10

Language server

Pylance

Expected behaviour

I created my environment using conda create --prefix E:\FastAPI\env\fastapi python=3.10

On Clicking "Select Interpreter" on bottom left of VS Code >> "+ Enter Interpreter Path..." >> Find a dialog box open where I can find and select my python.exe.

I select E:\FastAPI\env\fastapi\python.exe

VS Code should use that environment.

Actual behaviour

I created my environment using conda create --prefix E:\FastAPI\env\fastapi python=3.10

On Clicking "Select Interpreter" on bottom left of VS Code >> "+ Enter Interpreter Path..." >> Find a dialog box open where I can find and select my python.exe.

I select E:\FastAPI\env\fastapi\python.exe

But VC Code doesn't switch to that environment.

At bottom left of my screen, instead of showing that interpreter, it again shows "Select Python Interpreter" warning

Steps to reproduce

Create env : conda create --prefix E:\FastAPI\env\fastapi python=3.10
Select "E:\FastAPI\env\fastapi\python.exe" as interpreter
Interpreter not selected

Tried adding :

"python.condaPath": "C:\\ProgramData\\Anaconda3\\Scripts\\conda.exe",
"python.pythonPath": "E:\\FastAPI\\env\\fastapi\\python.exe"

to settings, still not selecting interpreter.
