Permission Denied when installing package with Julia 1.8.1 on Windows

Just to be sure: you didn’t run e.g. juliaup in a cmd/pwsh with admin privileges?

There was someone on discourse recently, who had access problems but with Julia binary and folders in AppData hidden folder.

One way to solve this would probably be to delete the registries folder and let Julia rebuild it, but that obviously does not solve the cause of this.
