The term '\venv\Scripts\activate.ps1' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program


I have been trying to get a venv to activate for the last week. Currently, the errors say The module 'venv' could not be loaded. For more information, run 'Import-Module venv' but when I run that, the terminal tells me: Import-Module : The specified module 'venv' was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module

I have virtualenv installed and updated. I have uninstalled and reinstalled both the package and Python3 trying to fix.

I have added python and the parent directory of the project to PATH. With no results. I 've been working on this for the last week and given up more then a few times with nothing. Can anyone please help me? Python version 3.10.1

Should I roll my version of python back?
