Please show us the results of the following two commands:

$ which -a alternatives

$ ls -glo $( which -a alternatives )

Please note that /usr/sbin/alternatives must be executed in an
elevated shell. The folder containing it is not normally included in
the path for a non-elevated shell. It is considered to be a command
used by the administrator rather than the user.

The easiest way to do this is to right click on the "Cygwin Terminal"
icon on the desktop or a shortcut to it in the start menu and click on
Run as administrator.

Then execute

$ /usr/sbin/alternatives --verbose --auto python

If you see this message "failed to replace
/var/lib/alternatives/python with /var/lib/alternatives/python.new:
Permission denied", you are not running in an elevated shell.

If you see this message "link points to no alternative -- setting mode
to manual", please run this command

$ /usr/sbin/alternatives --test --auto python

which will show which link is missing, as there will be a blank line
after the link name instead of a priority. This may not be a serious
problem, but I am investigating why it occurs.

BTW, this is the output on my system:
$ /usr/sbin/alternatives --display python
python - status is manual.
 link currently points to /usr/bin/python3.9.exe
/usr/bin/python2.7 - priority 27
/usr/bin/python3.8 - priority 38
/usr/bin/python3.6 - priority 36
/usr/bin/python3.7 - priority 37
/usr/bin/python3.9 - priority 39
Current `best' version is /usr/bin/python3.9.

With this setup, using "python" runs "version 3.9", "python2" runs
"version 2.7", "python3.x" runs the corresponding "version 3.x".
"python3" gives "-bash: python3: command not found".

This is the expected display when you have only python3.9 installed. - Doug
