 **What is the bug or the crash?**

 On a new PC we installed QGIS using OSGeo4W Installer and found, that some
 processing scripts did not load. Same worked fine on former installations
 end 2021. Missing processing scripts use geopandas. During tests we found,
 that installed geopandas lib cannot be imported.

 **Steps to reproduce the issue:**

 (1) Install QGIS using OSGeo4W Installer with admin rights, easy install
 and select QGIS, Grass and Saga.
 \\
 (2) Start installer again and add python libs rtree and geopandas.
 Confirm, to also install dependent packages, which include fiona.
 \\
 (3) Start QGIS
 \\
 (4) Start pyqgis Console
 \\
 (5) Enter "import geopandas", first error ist displayed
 \\
 (6) Enter "import geopandas" again, different error ist displayed

 **Message in QGIS PY console:**

 help(iface) für weitere Informationen
 # Sicherheitswarnung: Die Eingabe von Befehlen aus einer nicht
 vertrauenswürdigen Quelle kann den Computer beschädigen

 **Workaround after some investigation:**

 Execute manually the python-qgis.bat located in OSGeo4W\bin folder. Close
 window with exit().

 Alternatively also "set
 PYTHONPATH=%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\qgis\python;%PYTHONPATH%" entered in
 OSGeo4W Shell seems to help.
