Python error on starting Qgis3.36

[ThomasStruller]

On starting Qgis 3.36 on win 11 I get following error:

2024-03-22T09:43:41 CRITICAL Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users/thomas.struller/AppData/Roaming/QGIS/QGIS3\profiles\default/python/plugins\Smart_Map\utils\install_deps.py", line 262, in import sklearn File "C:\OSGeo4W/apps/qgis/./python\qgis\utils.py", line 923, in _import mod = _builtin_import(name, globals, locals, fromlist, level) ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sklearn'

Use version 3.34 of QGIS. It is a more stable version (LTR).

The error appears to be permission access to the folder: PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\Users\thomas.struller\AppData\Roaming\QGIS\QGIS3\profiles\default\python\site-packages\sklearn\ .libs\vcomp140.dll'

The operating system does not allow the plugin to access this folder.

Go to this folder and change the access properties to: Full access (Reading and Writing).
