pycharm "create project" using a default "previously configured interpreter" -e.g. Python 10
I want to use a default Python interpreter - say version 3.10 - when creating a new project.
However, when I create a new project - I always get a default 3.9.
I am changing the default in "File->New project set-up->Preferences..." = Python 3.10
I create a new project and I still get the wrong 3.9.
Here is a video: https://youtu.be/qtgLccWpEEY
How can I make the interpreter 3.10 to stick, be defaulted for new projects?

Hi,
Unfortunately, the video is too low resolution to see clearly.
The default project interpreter you set in [Preferences | Project: <name> | Python Interpreter] is not the interpreter that will be picked up when you create a new project.
But, if you create a new project with a new pure python interpreter, PyCharm should remember it for the next time you create a new project.
Strange - Video resolution is 2k - it should be very crisp. I tried on another computer- it is very sharp
Sorry, my bad, YT probably set the video quality to 240p or something, but for some reason I didn't see the settings cog icon (I checked).
Anyway, my previous recommendation is still relevant - please try creating a new project with the desired interpreter, and it should be remembered for the next time you want to create a new project.
