I assume (and hope) lots of you are also using Visual Studio Code on Windows:
I have this very annoying problem that when I run any npm install
commands while I have Visual Studio Code open I get and error like this:
[...]

Running as Administrator makes no difference.
When I close VS Code everything works fine.
Does anyone know about this error?
Any idea how to fix it?
Having to close Code is not really a solution…
