Hello everyone,
I am trying to install VSCode + PIO on a fresh install of Win10. After clearing all necessary python dependencies VSCode is running and I can install my preferred extensions. But when I install PIO after >20min (?) I get the error
Error: Could not create PIO Core Virtual Environment. Please create it manually -> http://bit.ly/pio-core-virtualenv
Error: If you use Antivirus, it can block PlatformIO Installer. Try to disable it for a while.

On every other system (unix and even win7) there was no major problem. I have admin privileges and also tried reinstalling python, vscode and pio multiple times.
