Hmm, as I have written this report it strucked me: could it be, that my Windows has python version 3, but it is not called "python3"?

c:\local\Adafruit_nRF52_Bootloader>python --version
Python 3.9.0

c:\local\Adafruit_nRF52_Bootloader>python3
'python3' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

That's right, depending on how python is installed on Windows, it gets different executable names, sometimes just python, sometimes python and python3. See this summary, written for another purpose: https://learn.adafruit.com/circuitpython-ble-libraries-on-any-computer/getting-python-on-your-host-computer#starting-python-3-on-windows-3075437-4.

I think you could add a python3.exe shortcut to python.exe to some directory that's in your %PATH%.

..and bingo, that has solved the problem. (I ran into several other minor problems with my adafruit-nrfutil installation and PATH settings, too.)

Sorry for creating the issue, the bug was in my head, inbetween my monitor and chair....
