Here the steps which I performed to fix the issue.
I launched PS core prompt went into the directory in my case
f:\terrform and passed the command terraform init I got the same error message.
went into the location C:\Python38\Scripts and located the terraform executable file deleted the file and copied it again and performed initialization command. This time there was no error.
Hope this helps
