conda: python or pip command gives error - The system cannot execute the specified program

I am trying to setup a new conda env in Anaconda3 on Windows.

C:\Users\raka>conda create --name "py_test" python=3.11


But when I run python or pip command its giving the error as shown in

C:\Users\raka>conda activate py_test

(py_test) C:\Users\raka>python -V
