I tried cleaning mods and reinstalling them as you have said. However this problem is not related to any mod. All the mods that I have installed together or separately is working but after a restart I get same warning. Like you have said I tried deleting other files than savegame and I found that deleting only mod file and launcher-v2.sqlite solving problem. And lastly I found that after restarting pc, paradox launcher itself is also cannot be found too so it also needs a clean reinstallation every time that I restart my computer. At this point I think we can clearly say problem is the launcher itself. For me it is not a problem to reinstall launcher and delete necessary files for them to be recreated by game however this is obviously not a real solution it is only a workaround. I hope this will be solved in future releases of paradox launcher.
 
So far as I know, no one else is getting this problem with the current launcher version. So it is very unlikely an update to it will fix your problem, which is very likely a local issue.

Just after seeing the problem, in this folder are some .log files:
C:/users/{userName}/AppData/Local/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/
Please attach them here.
To see the AppData folder you'll need to enable View Hidden Items in File Explorer.
 
There is logs and chromium-data folder inside the path you have given. Attached files are all the .log files inside logs folder.

I see no specific mod problems there. But I do see your Windows user name might be an issue:
C:\Users\PCKOLİK\
The launcher has had issues with non-Latin characters sometimes.

Can you please make a new Windows user with a purely Latin character set and see if you get the same problem there?
 
Oh then that is the problem because I am not using that user actually. My original user is C:\Users\PCKOLİK. Launcher uses wrong user to seek mods and every other file that is related to the game. I have provided path to launcher files in attachment. How can I change the path that launcher looks for ?

My original user is C:\Users\PCKOLİK
The İ in your username is a non-latin character.

If you encode that character in UTF-8 and then read that with the Windows-1252 encoding(also known as cp1252 or ANSI), you get İ. That's what is happening when you open the log files which you attached in a webbrowser, because Windows-1252 is the default encoding on the internet(and neither your browser nor the paradox server know the correct encoding for these log files). But I think the launcher actually writes the logs as UTF-8 and it is trying to read the files from the correct user. But somewhere along the lines this fails. There are lines like the following in your launcher-2024-03-09.log:
Code:
2024-03-09T10:45:27.081Z (pid:16372) warn [PdsDescriptorRepository]: Reading "~\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings III\mod\ugc_2220098919.mod" mod descriptor failed: VError: Loading mod descriptor failed: Reading file failed: Cannot read file: ~\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings III\od\ugc_2220098919.mod: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '~\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings III\od\ugc_2220098919.mod'
It looks like it tries to read the correct file, but then the m in mod gets lost somehow. Maybe it has something to do with the non-latin character in your username, but I don't know.
There are also errors about reading your D: drive where your steam installation seems to be:
Code:
2024-03-09T10:41:34.013Z (pid:4596) warn [ModFilesComparer]: Error getting hash code from D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\1158310\2218549875, skipping: VError: Get hash code from file D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\1158310\2218549875 failed: Reading file D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\1158310\2218549875 failed!: EISDIR: illegal operation on a directory, read
Is that the folder where steam downloaded the mods? IIRC the launcher also sometimes has problems if steam is on a different drive. So maybe it helps if you set up a new steam library folder in c: and install ck3 there.
 
My mod library in D: drive like the game itself. Steam is inside C: drive and I tried installing game into the C: drive steam library in the past but that did not solve the problem. So the last possible solution in this case is to change user name which I will and post update as soon as possible to here.
