Click on settings icon present at bottom left of vscode screen
In the top right of screen, you should see Open Settings (JSON) option
In the next screen, within double quotes start typing python.p, you should start seeing all the suggestions & options available

its a problem of vscode version, newer releases indicate python.pythonPath is being deprecated in favor of python.defaultInterpreterPath. So if you try to set your variable "python.defaultInterpreterPath" to point to your desired interpreter, this will solve your problem.
