uv use wrong interpreter when uv venv, and activated wrong environment when activate venv

[kevindaffaarr]

Run On
uv version: 0.1.24
OS: Windows 11

Problem Reproducing

I have multiple python version in my PC with aliases python, python310, and python311. I already install uv in python311 by

python311 -m pip install uv

And then I check the other python

python -m pip freeze // there is no uv installed

python310 -m pip freeze // there is no uv installed

which is expected.

Then I trigger command for creating a virtual environment:

python311 -m v venv

First Problem

The first problem is, uv use python alias (which is python 3.10.8) as interpreter.

Second Problem

After I activate the venv and pip freeze

source ./.venv/Scripts/Activate
pip freeze

It resulted the activated python interpreter of my other folder with installed packages, meanwhile my current Lib folder is empty.

Below is the full terminal interactions

This sounds like it would be resolved by #2338 and looks like a duplicate of #2222
