Cannot Set Project due to UnicodeDecodeError

[EldonSamuelson]

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xff in position 0: invalid start byte

I haven't used EE-GQIS in a while since the Cloud Project Migration process, but since updating the Plugin the 'Set Project' window always throws up an error.

• I already have a Cloud Project setup and configured which I mostly use for the EE JS IDE Platform, called 'EarthEngine' and a project ID of 'ee-seamus-noncomm'.
• I already have successfully Signed In/Authenticated and logged in via the QGIS EE Plugin.
• I have a credentials file in 'C:\Users[me].config' (can't share that obviously, but it was last modified today so I'm assuming it has been configured correctly to authenticate my login as it did before Cloud Projects were mandatory). It has a redirect_uri of 'localhost:[port#]', my refresh_token, and scopes of 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/earthengine', 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform', and 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/devstorage.full_control'.

However when I'm asked to enter the Cloud Project Name, 'EarthEngine' or 'ee-seamus-noncomm', it brings up this Unicode error. I've also tried entering a new name thinking that maybe Set Project is only designed for creating a new GCP Project rather than assigning an exisiting one but that also brings this up;

Searching online says the Unicode errors are usually related to the latin-1 encoding, but all my Windows files are in default UK English. It's an outside chance but I experience this sort of issue everywhere, could it be related to my name having an 'é' and an "O'Something" somewhere during authentication? Or is it a Credential problem that I need to reset?

Thanks for any help you can provide.
