  I'm not educated in Conda. But here are some wild and untested
  guesses what could be done:

conda search python

  This might list the Python versions available.

  If the desired version does not appear, adding a channel known
  to host older versions might help, like:

conda create -n test python=3.10 -c conda-forge

   . It might help to update Conda:

conda update conda

  . This should clear the Conda cache, but I don't know what you might
  lose by doing it:

conda clean --all

  . Check out your conda base and user PATH variables, and prioritize
  Conda environments over system-wide Python installations. 

  Check your system's networking/firewall configuration doesn't block
  Conda's access to remote repositories.

  You could also try to require a more specific version you have,
  like for example, "python=3.10.4", instead of, "python=3.10".
