UNITY An error occurred while resolving packages: EPERM: operation not permitted, mkdir

Question

I have recently downloaded Unity to try out some game dev.

But every time i try to create a project im hit with this error message:

An error occurred while resolving packages: One or more packages could not be added to the local file system: com.unity.collab-proxy: EPERM: operation not permitted, mkdir 'C:\Users\micha\AppData\Local\Unity'

collab-proxy isnt the only one that fails, there is about 13 other packages that error out like this.

Please Help

I have uninstalled/ reinstalled multiple times, installed in different folders, tried different versions, and ran as admin.

Even asked some of my dev friends but cant seem to find a fix
