I can't start ASreview

[JohnQuentin]

Hello,

After several weeks of not using ASReview, I attempted to restart it this morning as I require some data for my project. Upon startup, I encountered the following notification, as depicted below. I have already attempted to update ASReview, which was successful. However, I am still encountering this error. Could someone provide further assistance in resolving this issue?

Thanks for reporting. Whats your Python version? Did you upgrade Python in the meanwhile? Or anything else?

[JohnQuentin]

Python version 3.9.13
I did not upgrade Python or anything else.

[J535D165]

Don't know what going on. Probably not an issue with ASReview.
Please execute: pip install --upgrade MarkupSafe

[JohnQuentin]

When I do that, I get this:
