Permissions Issue When Creating Project in User Folder

Hi. I am working on the most recent version of Quartus Prime Lite 21, and have run into an issue when I attempt to make a project in a directory inside of my user folder. when attempting to launch the project, I get a permissions error.

"

Can't open project -- you do not have permission to write to all the files or create new files in the project's database directory
"

As far as I am aware, I have full permissions in my own user folder. Is there any way to fix this, by possibly granting the same permissions to Quartus Prime?

    Do you happen to have spaces anywhere in the path? That could be the problem.

    Hmm. Can you successfully create and open projects placed elsewhere?

    Also, I'm assuming Windows 10 and not Linux.
