Additional context
Probably not useful, but i would like to assume if you put this log line in there, then this is what is wanted.

Feel free to close if its a non-issue. Can provide further details if necessary.

Looks like you don't have executable permission on the decompiler.exe binary. What happens if you open up a command prompt and try to run <Ghidra Install Dir>\Ghidra\Features\Decompiler\os\win_x86_64\decompile.exe directly?

The decompiler ran without issue just after this within ghidra, should I still check via cli?

No, that's ok. I am going to close this because I'm guessing it wasn't an issue with Ghidra, but with some security feature of your OS.
