Hello, thanks for posting! The problem unfortunately is know and it is related to the operating system.

If you run vscode as an administrator that problem shouldn't appear

Earlier, I had tried running the same in command prompt with administrator access, but it did not work. Thus, decided to raise an issue. Thank you for the fix! It is working now.
