Cannot install Metrics Stack: operation not permitted (kubectl.exe)

[nebula2]

Describe the bug On my Windows 10 x64 machine with Lens installed - when trying to install the metrics stack for my Rpi k3s cluster I get an error saying:

Uncaught Exception:
Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, open
'C:\Users\jackf\AppData\Roaming\Lens\binaries\kubectl\1.21.1+k3s1\kubecl.exe'

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Right-click on your cluster and click on settings
2. Under Features->Metrics Stack click on 'Install'
3. See error

Expected behavior Prometheus stack get's installed

Seems like there are two main issues here.

1. My DNS is blocking storage.googleapis.com
   • solved that
     2. after resolving the DNS issue it still did not work because there is no fitting kubectl.exe in the archives.
   • this solved it for me
