UPDATE: deleting “_.julia\registries\general” fixed things
(although I have not tried to regenerate the Norton alert)

Norton does not like it. First msg (no valid signature), next msg (Norton Alert Severity High: Data Protector blocked a suspicious action by julia.exe) [later, I cleared the block, and had Norton ignore it, that made no difference] which resulted in this:


(@v1.6) pkg> up
    Updating registry at `C:\Users\jas\.julia\registries\General`
ERROR: IOError: unlink("C:\\Users\\jas\\.julia\\registries\\General\\D\\Desktop\\Compat.toml"): permission denied (EACCES)

then

upon restarting Julia, a number of packages (on pkg> up) report e.g. (here Cairo, same msg with DataFramesMeta and others)

ERROR: Unsatisfiable requirements detected for package Cairo [159f3aea]:
 Cairo [159f3aea] log:
 ├─Cairo [159f3aea] has no known versions!
 └─restricted to versions * by an explicit requirement — no versions left
