Invalid Handle Error in Windows 11

Question

Hey,

Since the release of Windows 11, I've been trying to run some automation code on this OS, but I'm inconsistently getting this error when trying to run some different CMD commands using subprocess.Popen in Python3 -

[WinError 6] The handle is invalid

I scouted all around the internet but only found solutions to this problem on Windows 10, but performing them didn't help. Does anybody have an idea as to what causes this and how can the issue be resolved? Thank you in advance!

Some of the solutions I've tried -
