Description
When running python main.py, it works fine; however, when using the task scheduler, it does not work. The log only displays the message indicating that the theme is loading, but nothing else happens.
EDIT:
Fixed it by clean installing python and the respective libraries

Research direction
Start with main.py and compare its theme-loading behavior when run directly versus through Windows Task Scheduler. Use the provided log and environment details to investigate why execution stops after loading res\themes\5inchTheme2\theme.yaml. The issue is resolved when the scheduled run proceeds normally, but the report does not define a reproducible code-level fix.
