Node/NPM, Windows, and Permissions Errors.

Hello /r/node,My apologies if this is not an appropriate place to post this. Recently at work due to security requirements I had to switch away from Arch Linux dev laptop and start using a Windows OS. This is fine as I am fairly familiar with Windows, however I am NOT familiar with Windows permissions.I installed the latest LTS for Windows. Made sure it was in my path. So I can use node/npm from CMD/Powershell/CMDer etc. However I run into some fairly annoying permissions issues.The first issue is when running ng build --watch with nodemon within an Angular project I will get this error:> concurrently --kill-others "ng build --watch" "nodemon -e js,html,json,ts,map server.js" [1] [nodemon] 1.19.1 [1] [nodemon] to restart at any time, enter `rs` [1] [nodemon] watching: *.* [1] [nodemon] starting `node server.js` [1] [INFO] Running on port: 5000 [0] ENOTEMPTY: directory not empty, rmdir 'C:\Users\user\Dev\admin\dist\admin\assets\fonts' [0] Error: ENOTEMPTY: directory not empty, rmdir 'C:\Users\user\Dev\admin\dist\admin\assets\fonts' [0] at Object.rmdirSync (fs.js:684:3) I can get around this by deleting the `dist/` folder and all it's contents EACH TIME before I run the project. However I shouldn't have to do that, and certainly never had to on Linux/OSX.The other issues are basically any IDE I end up using I can't run the project from the built in terminals, or run their debuggers as they almost always hit a permission issue in the `node_modules` folder.npm ERR! path C:\Users\user\Dev\api\node_modules\propex\package.json.3101012362 npm ERR! code EPERM npm ERR! errno -4048 npm ERR! syscall rename npm ERR! Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, rename 'C:\Users\user\Dev\api\node_modules\propex\package.json.3101012362' -> 'C:\Users\user\Dev\api\node_modules\propex\package.json' I have tried a few things, including looking at the project folders and opening the properties and trying to mess with permissions with zero luck. I have also popped open the linux subsystem and went with the nuclear option of chmod 777 -R ./* in my dev folder. Like I expected though this had no affect since windows doesn't do their permissions like Linux/OSX.tl;dr how do I fix permissions on my dev folder and subfolders in windows to allow my terminals and IDE's to access any of the files without permissions issues.
