Getting "NoPermissions (FileSystemError): Error: EPERM: operation not permitted" when trying to save/create file on Visual Studio Code

Question

I uploaded "mynewfolder" to Visual Studio Code, but when I do "New File" and write "index.html" under that I get this message:

Unable to write file (NoPermissions (FileSystemError): Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, open 'c:\Users\Projects\MyFirstPage\index.html')

I tried several times and still get the same error message.

Can anyone tell me what's going on?

Solution 1

I also meet this problem, now the problem has been solved. Please restart your PC and run your VSCODE as Administrator.

Solution 2

Just Run your VSCODE as Administrator.
