From memory, that has been reported a couple of times. Again from memory, solutions were provided.

I suggest that you do a search for the quoted error, i unfortunately don't have the time and energy for it at this moment. You can use both the forum search or a google search (add Arduino as a keyword).

Thank you sterretje!
I have figured out. Arduino is trying to use a folder mapped to OneDrive in the OS
I will try to map all Arduino folders to somewhere outside OneDrive - ideally portable

Thanks!
