I usually use Local by Flywheel on Windows, and I did not install PHP locally.
In that case, it seems that you need to install PHP separately.

The first step is to go to
https://www.php.net/downloads
from the "Windows downlaods" link at to install PHP in C:\php.

Next, download php-cs-fixer-v3.phar from the following link and place it in ~/.vscode/.
https://github.com/FriendsOfPHP/PHP-CS-Fixer/blob/master/doc/installation.rst

Finally, add the following lines to settings.json and it works fine.

    "[php]": {
        "editor.defaultFormatter": "junstyle.php-cs-fixer"
    },
    // "php.executablePath": "C:/php/php.exe",
    "php.validate.executablePath": "C:/php/php.exe",
    "php-cs-fixer.onsave": true,
    "php-cs-fixer.executablePath": "~/.vscode/php-cs-fixer-v3.phar",
