PsychoPy does not open "configobj.ConfigObjError: Parsing failed with several errors"

PsychoPy 2020 failed to open. No splash screen, no response at all when I click on the app. I uninstalled and installed again. Still fails to open.

Uninstalled PsychoPy, uninstalled Python, reinstalled both. Same issue

“C:\Program Files\PsychoPy3\python.exe” -m psychopy.app.psychopyApp

in the command prompt (as per Troubleshooting pages) produces:
