This issue occurred when I updated to
E:\package\vcpkg>vcpkg.exe --version
vcpkg package management program version 2024-10-18-e392d7347fe72dff56e7857f7571c22301237ae6

[AdamJue]

I found a temporary solution. In the previous version of python-3.11.8-x64, I copied the DLLs Lib Scripts three folders to python-3.12.7-x64, and now it can run normally

PS E:\vcpkg> ./vcpkg version

Sorry I didn't repro your issue.

I tested my other Windows system and it did not reproduce. I will close this issue first.
