Windows Spark_Home error with pyspark during spark-submit

Question

I'm getting the error below when running spark-submit on a simple python script to import sparksession. I have the Spark_Home user variable set to 'C:\\Spark\\spark-3.1.2-bin-hadoop3.2'; ENV path in user variables set to C:\\Spark\\spark-3.1.2-bin-hadoop3.2\\bin; HADOOP_HOME path set to folder with WINUTILS.

Did everything here: https://phoenixnap.com/kb/install-spark-on-windows-10

Full code below.

Respectfully I tried to PATH issue: Could not find valid SPARK_HOME while searching this did not work, I'm on windows. This is work related, I'm new to stackoverflow and Spark. Thx!!

Try to use the findspark .

import findspark
findspark.find()

from pyspark import SparkContext, SparkConf
from pyspark.sql import SparkSession

spark = SparkSession.builder \
    .master("local") \
    .appName("Spark") \
    .getOrCreate()
