Please don't install python automatically upon installing pymanager

[kneelesh48]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I installed pymanager from the Microsoft Store, it automatically installed python3.14 but I don't use 3.14 because many libraries like pytorch don't support it.

It was hard to uninstall python after it got installed. It seems to get installed automatically

Describe the solution you'd like
Don't install python when I install pymanager. Let me manually install a python version of my choosing.

It's been noted several times that installing the 3.14 pre-releases is temporary during the developmental phase of PyManager. I think your problem would be solved when we switch to using the latest stable release by default.

It was hard to uninstall python after it got installed.

I'm intrigued by this - could you tell us more about why it was hard?

There should have been a number of prompts asking if you wanted to install it, which you responded "yes" to (and which wouldn't have appeared at all if you had any other installs already). Did you go through this? Or did it not appear when you launched the first time?

I'll do all the steps one more time and document the process
