I have recently successfully been using QGIS 3.40.13 with no issues. However, as of today whenever I go to launch I receive these error messages:</div>

I am not sure why this may being caused and I have tried various work arounds including, resetting my profile, uninstalling and reinstalling the same version of QGIS, uninstalling and reinstalling QGIS version 3.44 and also installing and uninstalling via the
OSGeo4W installer all of which have not fixed the issue.</div>

I am led to believe that the issue may be due to the application having been blocked by windows smart app control. I am reticent to turn this off unless it is a last resort especially as the same version of QGIS (3.40.13) was working correctly over the previous
days. I am not sure what could've changed. Any advice on how to proceed would be kindly appreciated.</div>
