"Unable to create Directory" on wordpress running on XAMPP

In these days i am experiencing an annoying error. I am trying to add plugins and themes on my wordpress site, which is handled by XAMPP running APACHE webserver and obviously MySql database. Everytime that i try to install a plugin (woocommerce in this case) i get the output below: Error Output

So I tried to change permissions on all the wordpress directories (I am on windows 10), but that has not solved the issue yet. I find it pretty strange.

Actually woocommerce folders are stored anyway in the File System:

I am not able to use the plugin from the site, anyway. I definitely need someone's help.

Just need to change folder permission and follow the below step:

  • Change folder permissions on the wp-content directory to 775 and try to upload it again.
  • If it fails, change the permissions to 777 and try to upload it again.
  • If it still fails then do steps 1 and 2 for the “wp-content/uploads” directory too and try to upload it again.
