Unable to create Index.lock no such file or directory | GitHub Desktop Windows

Question

I have no idea why this problem is happening when I try to clone a GitHub fork. This problem happens with other forks as well.

Answer 1

Try and create one manually.

If you can't (create it manually), that could highlight a permission issue, which would explain why it was not created by Git in the first place.

As the OP zuckonit mention in the comment:

I fixed it: If I disable ransomware protection on my PC, everything is fixed.
