I’m unable to run any .psyexp files at all without encountering this error message:

I’ve tried installing and running all the standalone versions, both 32 and 64 bit, from v2021.1.0 onwards. All of them produce the same error for me.
My machine is a ThinkPad Carbon X7 running Windows 10 Pro version 21H1.
This problem seems to have come up a few times, but the advice in previous threads hasn’t helped me:
- Sep 2018: Packaging issue that was solved in a future version
- Feb 2019a: problem was a university security system. I am running this on my private device
- Feb 2019b: unsolved
- Feb 2019c: packaging issue, solved in future standalone update.
Someone else has also posted this same bug issue on the PsychoPy Github. Help?
