Windows 10: Erorrs with permissions using NPM package manager: EPERM: operation not permitted, rmdir.

When using the NPM package manager, I encountered the "EPERM: operation not permitted, rmdir" error. This error occurs in different scenarios when using NPM, such as when it needs to delete temporary files.Scenario 1: Installing/Uninstalling NPM packages.```bashnpm uninstall electronnpm WARN cleanup Failed to remove some directories [npm WARN cleanup [npm WARN cleanup 'd:\\Development\\Apps\\Lumen-desktop\\node_modules\\.electron-Usm3DB1w',npm WARN cleanup [Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, rmdir 'd:\Development\Apps\Lumen-desktop\node_modules\.electron-Usm3DB1w\dist\resources']

EPERM: operation not permitted, open 'C:\Users\Moustafa\.vscode\extensions\.obsolete'

When i try to install extentions on vscode on my windows 10 machine the installation fails and asks me to install it manually, when i do so another error appears stating:

EPERM: operation not permitted, open 'C:\Users\Moustafa.vscode\extensions.obsolete'

I've searched a lot on the web and i didn't find the solution to this problem nor did i find someone posting a similar issue, after searching i fond that the extentions are installed on .vscode the default extentions are there and somehow vscode doesn't have the authorisation to install extentions there.
