Python not working in CMD, but no error thrown

I have a really strange Problem with Python when used from the command prompt under Windows 10. When I put "python --version" in the command prompt, nothing happens, this also means no error is thrown. I cannot run any python script from the console, altough the path variables are set properly and I re-installed python 3.6 several times. It seems also to cause this error when no Python is installed on the system at all. Anyone an idea, what could cause such a strange behaviour?

CMD

Edit: I tried now "where python", which gives me two path:

C:\Users\set>where python
C:\Users\set\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python.exe
C:\Python36\python.exe

I removed the first path, which caused the error. It pointed somehow to an empty .exe

windows python
