Hi !
I noticed the same error w/ 3.4.0 and 3.4.1.
Could you explain what did you mean by "clean/new profile" ?
Thanks !

Thanks. I created a new profile, then copy all of its content into the default profile directory and delete the new profile directory.
During the launching of QGIS, it asked me for import of QGIS2 settings but i answered no and i hadn't a processing error anymore.

Otherwise, if you don't want to play with profiles, there is an easy way to fix it : deactivate and reactivate (checkbox) the processing extension.

I'm sorry but, after the cleaning of the default profile and a after a few clean lauchings with this profile, I have noticed the error again...
