Actually, it will for anywhere with a recent Python 3.x or where the
standalone launcher has been installed:

https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0397/
(cf particularly the section "Python Script Launching")

Of course, I don't know if the OP does in fact have
the launcher installed, but if they do then the answer is: py.exe.

Even if the launcher isn't installed, Windows will happily run a .py
file via the file extension association, assuming that this has been
selected when installing Python (which it is, by default, ISTR).
