This looks like a duplicate of #4601

As a workaround, create in a directory further from the driver root, or don't check the "Place solution and Project in the same directory" option.

Some very old code in the wizard assumes that checkbox is not checked, and so it can query up the directory tree. If this fails (because it reaches a directory it doesn't have permission to access), it gets stuck like this. The fix is "complicated" :(

Thanks @mrlacey, that seems to workaround the issue indeed. Perhaps Template Studio should block this scenario until it's known working again?

Again? It's never worked!

Could be a good look to test for this first 👍
