OS: Windows 10
I have tried running the shell as administrator and it still gives the exact same error. Is there anything else I could try?

I am also encountering the same issue on Win11. Python 3.10.11

[jSydorowicz21]

Also ran into this issue, the pr above by @Zxilly fixed this issue for me. Worth implementing.

Hello, I also have this error.

I try to add the @Zxilly update but it don't change my problem. Here the error :

I got Windows 11 and I use python 3.9.18

Is there something else to try ?

@thomasBontempsTecrisViattech It's obvious that you didn't apply the patch correctly.
