vim crashes in windows when trying to execute python 3 command

I had to change computers recently. In my previous computer I was compiling vim with python to avoid this issue also, but I had no time to compile it yet
so I downloaded a 64 bit build of vim for windows:

MS-Windows 64-bit console version
Included patches: 1-1649
Compiled by appveyor@APPVYR-WIN


I also downloaded conda python distribution and I have the folder where python.exe is located in my PATH variable.

Without a vimrc or vimfiles folder if I do the following:

:py3 import os

then I get the following error message and vim crashes:


Fatal Python error: initfsencoding: unable to load the file system codec
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'encodings'

Current thread 0x00007ed4 (most recent call first):


I understand there might be something I can put in my vimrc to avoid this, but i don't think vim should crash this way.
