Hello everyone, I am trying to install VSCode + PIO on a fresh install of Win10. After clearing all necessary python dependencies VSCode is running and I can install my preferred extensions. But when I install PIO after >20min (?) I get the error Error: Could not create PIO Core Virtual Environme…

[image] v3xx: Error [Error 5] Access is denied while executing command C:\Users\xxx.platformio\penv\Scripts - setuptools pip wheel …Installing setuptools, pip, wheel…done. Can you remove the whole folder C:\Users\xxx\.platformio, deactivate antivirus and retry.
