Seems to be caused by sometimes running updates with Administrator permissions
Ideally, we should only execute with these permissions when necessary, perhaps even prompt for them

Seems most reliable when /.local/node is manually deleted (e.g. with Windows Explorer) prior to running sync or update

from dotfiles-rs.
