I am trying to run npm i -g @nestjs/cli and corepack enable on a Windows machine.

I ran cmd as Administrator, as the image below indicates. Powershell as admin did not work too. I tried cleaning npm cache, it did not work.

Have anyone had this problem even with administrator privileges on Windows? The files aren`t being used by any other processes, I disabled my antivirus. Nothing worked.

C:WindowsSystem32>npm i -g @nestjs/cli

I tried:

1. Run as Administrator (both cmd and powershell)
2. Disable Antivirus
3. Restart computer
4. Reinstall NODE.js

All expecting that it would run the command fine. Nothing worked
