I'm unable to reproduce this issue.

I think your workspace folder might have d:\Source\Testing\storeEnv\Scripts\python.exe selected (which is an invalid interpreter) because of which settings at workspace level has no effect. Can you try clearing the workspace folder setting first using Python: Clear workspace interpreter command.

Hmm, not reproing anymore. Even without the clear workspace interpreter.

I also noticed that sometimes when an interpreter is changed for a workspace folder, we also need to change the currently active editor file for the changes to reflect, it may also have been that.
