This is standard behaviour for NPM executables, and hence I don’t think it warrants to be included in our docs.

In general on windows it’s recommended that development mode is enabled. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/get-started/enable-your-device-for-development

Let’s reconsider this in the future, if we see more users are encountering this issue.

I can see what you mean @alan-agius4 but it seems to be something you have to be in the know about and costs nothing to put that in the Angular docs. There are many projects that highlight the need to run with elevated permissions, this doesn't appear to be any different.

If we are really about making Angular user-friendly and approachable for new developers, then commenting on some obvious gotchas would be useful. I just can't see any value in wasting ppl's time on something so obvious, when the answer could easily be shared on a project basis without having the expectation of diving into the arguable difficult to digest world of Microsoft Docs. Which, it should be noted, doesn't provide this answer and there are at least 5 or 6 possible solutions offered in SO for example.
