I've got an issue with NPM. It seems to be having an issue updating, which I don't care about. However, when I run an NPM command I'm getting:

npm ERR! path D:Users[user].configconfigstoreupdate-notifier-npm.json

npm ERR! code EBUSY

npm ERR! errno -4082

npm ERR! syscall open

npm ERR! EBUSY: resource busy or locked, open 'D:Users[user].configconfigstoreupdate-notifier-npm.json'

If I run the command 3 or 4 times, it eventually works. However, some of my scripts have 3-4 steps, each one having a 30% chance of succeeding becomes intolerably frustrating. I have to run it over and over again to get a 'clean' run where none of them fail.

Might be related to this message:

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

I don't care that it can't update, Is there any way to stop it constantly creating and deleting this file so it can get on with things?

Current user has permission to modify the file/folder (it does, sometimes).

Even get the error doing npm -v:

I've tried uinstalling and reinstalling.

Edit: Now having this problem on 3 different machines. Maybe caused by anti-virus, but I can't turn that off.
