Bleachbit will not open nor run...

[cpari44]

I have Bleachbit (not portable) version 4.6.0.2537 installed on a Win10 (x64) PC.
After opening up cmd from the Search box and navigating to C:\Program Files (x86)\BleachBit\bleachbit_console.exe
below is what it printed out:

C:\Program Files (x86)\BleachBit\bleachbit_console.exe
Traceback (most recent call last):

Before trying to run Bleachbit (v4.4.2) I updated my Python software to version 3.12.3150.0 and PyCharm CE to version 241.14494.241.

What can I do to fix this issue?
Bleachbit (v4.4.2) ran fine before I updated it, the Python software and PyCharm CE to their latest versions.
I reinstalled Bleachbit version 4.4.2 which results in the same issue of not running with the Python software version 3.12.3150.0 and PyCharm CE version 241.14494.241 still intact. Maybe Bleachbit conflicts with the latest versions of Python and/or PyCharm CE?

BleachBit should be using its own private copy of Python that's in the BleachBit folder.

Please try this

1. Open %appdata%\bleachbit
2. Copy bleachbit.ini to another name like bleachbit.ini.backup
3. Run BleachBit

If it works, please send me the bleachbit.ini.backup file (the old broken one) by attaching it here or emailing to ahz0001 at duck dot com. To attach here, rename the .ini file to .log or .txt.

It worked! Upon successfully running and opening Bleachbit it created a new bleachbit.ini file in place of bleachbit.ini.backup.

Attached is the old broken bleachbit.ini.backup file which is renamed bleachbit.ini.backup.txt as per your instructions.
Would it be safe to delete bleachbit.ini.backup from the %appdata%\bleachbit directory or should I leave it there?

Thanks for your input.
