The SAGA processing can't be run on a profile that has a special character on its path. The original bug happens on a computer that put the QGIS directory on something like this: D:\\Users\Company\UserName\AppData(Roaming)\QGIS\QGIS3\profiles\default\processing. Note the bracket on AppData(Roaming).
To reproduce, create a new profile with a bracket on its name, for example: new(profile) then run any algorithm on it. For example, this is the error message that I got:

Of course, we can use a "proper" naming of the profile or make sure that the QGIS directory is under a "proper" path (proper = without a special character). But it would be great to handle this case.
