This Python code runs perfectly through VSCode but crashes when I run it in the Command Prompt

Question

This is a game from a tutorial I'm following.

There is a menu where you can choose from 1 to 4 to perform an action. If you press 1 you can write your name and the stores it in the "load.text" file.

When I run the code from the folder "Open With" >> "Python" it crushes when I write my name.

I'm very new to Python, I would appreciate any help.

The code:

import os

run = True
menu = True
play = False
rules = False

HP = 50
ATK = 3

def clear():
    os.system("cls")

def save():
    list = [
        name,
        str(HP),
        str(ATK)
    ]

    f = open("load.txt", "w")

    for item in list:
        f.write(item + "\n")
    f.close()

while run:
    while menu:
        clear()
        print("1, NEW GAME")
        print("2, LOAD GAME")
        print("3, RULES")
        print("4, QUIT GAME")

        if rules:
            print("I'm the creator of this game and these are the rules")
            rules = False
            choice = ""
            input("> ")
        else:
            choice = input("# ")

        if choice == "1":
            clear()
            name = input("# What's your name, hero? ")
            play = True
            menu = False
        elif choice == "2":
            f = open("load.txt", "r")
            load_list = f.readlines()
            name = load_list[0][:-1]
            HP = load_list[1][:-1]
            ATK = load_list[2][:-1]
            clear()
            print("Welcome back, " + name + "!")
            input("> ")
            menu = False
            play = True
        elif choice == "3":
            rules = True
        elif choice == "4":
            quit()

    while play:
        save()  # autosave

        dest = input("# ")

        if dest == "0":
            play = False
            menu = True
            save()

Edit: through debugging I noticed that the problem is with the line

f = open("load.txt", "w")

It's like when I run it with Python, the code can't create another files?

Why is this happening?

Edit2: Using

from pathlib import Path

and putting " print(Path.cwd())" in the menu like this:

 while menu:
        clear()
        print("1, NEW GAME")
        print("2, LOAD GAME")
        print("3, RULES")
        print("4, QUIT GAME")
        print(Path.cwd())

The result printed is:

1, NEW GAME
2, LOAD GAME
3, RULES
4, QUIT GAME
C:\WINDOWS\system32

It doesnt' appear the real path of the .py file. So it crushes because when creating a file it confuses the paths (?

How can I fix this? I want to also know why the path directs to system32
