Can't run the tool when there are Unicode (é) characters in executable's path

[tocram1]

Hi,

I think have been able to run your tool before on an Nvidia GTX 1650, but now that I use an AMD RX 6750 XT it doesn't boot up...

Here is what comes up in my command prompt:

PS C:\Users\Théo\Documents\Backup et Emu Switch> python --version
Python 3.10.11

PS C:\Users\Théo\Documents\Backup et Emu Switch> .\TOTK_Optimizer_1.5.5.exe
The GPU was not detected, nothing to be concerned about. list index out of range

So, I tried to run it in another folder path, in C:\Temp\ as I was suspecting the é in my user folder name to be a source of issues... and this is what shows up now:

PS C:\Temp> .\TOTK_Optimizer_1.5.5.exe

...and the tool opens up correctly.

My theory is that I was running the tool in another way the last time I opened it up (as I've been messing with Python a lot to use PyTorch on AMD hardware 💀), and maybe the é was properly handled or escaped...
