Just for shits and giggles - try not to use "special" characters in the files path, for example in croatian we have žćčđ and I have had issues because of them, not with arduino but they are not in the file path I use... Hope it helps...

Try the normal version instead of the windows store version; seems to have solved problems for other people.
