Error: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Script.Abstractions

I’m trying to run an Azure Function locally following the Microsoft guide:
https://learn.microsoft.com/nl-nl/azure/azure-functions/create-first-function-cli-python?tabs=azure-cli%2Cbash%2Cbrowser#create-venv

Whatever I try I get the same error over and over again when i try to start the function using "func start":

 Found Python version 3.8.0 (py).

Any help would be appreciated!
