Hey Rida,

That's annoying. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of experience debugging Windows-specific errors.
Do other Node projects suffer from the same issue, or is it Medusa-specific? What Node version are you running?

If your Node version is compatible and you have full write-access to the files, you could consider switching to WSL if you haven't already.

If other Windows users run into similar issues, please let me know.

hello @VariableVic

Thanks for getting back to me! It seems to be Medusa-specific as I haven't encountered similar issues with other Node projects.
I'm currently running Node version

, which should be compatible with Medusa.

I do have full write-access, so I might give WSL a shot as you suggested. I'll keep you updated if I run into any other problems or find a solution. If don't know other users face the same issue, I'll definitely let you know!

Thanks again for the help.

Hey @rida-rechrache is this still an issue?

[rida-rechrache]

Hi @riqwan
Yes, I always have this issue on my Windows,
I tried to install WSL on my Windows, but I don't have enough space for that.

[riqwan]

Let me push the latest release version, maybe its already been fixed.

@rida-rechrache can you try a fresh install and see if its still showing up?

Hi @riqwan
Even with the migration of Medusa, I always have this issue on my Windows.
