Issues with running Python on VS Code /u/GonnaChiefYourNan Python Education

So I have a data analysis script rn, no errors, and I ran it a month ago on the same pc with no errors and I can run it on google colab.
I had this issue on my laptop recently but I assumed it was only for my laptop. That wasn’t the case. Essentially it asks nonstop, “Select a python interpreter” with 2 options that just go to the same file path, just one has a gear icon and the whole file path listed whereas the 2nd has only the end hal.f of the file path. Neither option changes anything, they both then bring up “Debug stopped, open ‘launch.json’ “.

After that it asks me for a directory, and it never works. I just try anyway I can to get to the Desktop (where my file is stored) and nothing pops up or even goes through.

Does anyone have a solution for this? Or any experience?
It just sucks how this happens out of the blue
