Currently there is a compatibility issue with the newer versions of PAT. Until this is resolved please install the QGIS Standalone Standalone installer for long term release with continued dependencies from old OSGeo4W - QGIS Standalone Installer Version 3.16 (64 bit)

Still unable to load PAT on 3.16 :(

@JRichetti I have had a more in-depth look at your issue. It is caused by the desktop folder being located on OneDrive.

Until the fix is released follow the Running batch file as administrator instructions in the manual.

The file .bat doesn't work.

install Python 3 extras to support PAT.

[cratcliff]

@andre5620 Try the version I have just released in the QGIS plugins manager.

[JRichetti]

Looks like the new update fixed it! :)
