Does your profile reference $profile or $profile.currentusercurrenthost ?

Wow, Friday brain strikes. The relevant part of the error is “powershell.config.json”; it’s trying to write that file to store your CurrentUser scoped ExecutionPolicy.
This is a change from Windows PowerShell (aka 5.1) which stored those settings in the registry.
Try this:
test-path (split-path $profile.CurrentUserCurrentHost)
Betting that will be false, and if you create said directory (and make sure you can write to it) the error will vanish.

Are you able to save/create/copy a powershell.config.json file to \\nt_san1\users\MJL-Priv\Documents\PowerShell\ ?
The content you’d need for your execution policy is
{"Microsoft.PowerShell:ExecutionPolicy":"Bypass"}

Also, we don't use MS Defender, we use BitDefender.

👍🏻
Once you can create/edit that file in that path, your error will go away. 😊
