gr.FileExplorer - Malfunction after Permission Error ( WinError 5 )

Describe the bug

In my app i need to select multiple files. So, i was starting to go with the gr.FileExplorer module. I am on a Windows machine. This worked well until my selection included a folder that i do not have the correct permissions for. In general the app continuous to work, but an error shows in the terminal and the module fails to work properly ( folders are not expandable anymore and change events are not firing anymore). Try to find some kind of workaround, but failed to do so.

The module itself does not give me the opportunity to handle this error in any way.

Reproduction

import gradio as gr
import os

def handle_files(files):
    # This function will process the list of files
    file_info = [d for d in files]
    return file_info

with gr.Blocks() as demo:
    gr.Markdown('## Select folder or files to read into index')
    with gr.Row():
            files = gr.FileExplorer(
                glob="*",
                # value=["themes/utils"],
                root_dir="/Users/" + os.getlogin(),
                interactive=True,
                ignore_glob="**/__init__.py",
            )
            output=gr.Textbox(label="Selected files & folders:")

    files.change(handle_files, files, output)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    demo.launch()
