I need some advice please. We are currently trialling to block usage of command prompt and powershell scripts on users' Pcs however this has been causing issues with QGIS as QGIS requires some .bat files running prior to the application opening. Is there a
way that we can utilise QGIS and Python within QGIS successfully in a format that doesn't require cmd or powershell?</div>
