I'm encountering an 'Access Denied: D:\System Volume Information' error when building my Minecraft Paper plugin Gradle project in IntelliJ IDEA. Strangely, the same project works perfectly in a VM environment using the same IntelliJ version and plugins. I've already reached out to support but found no solution.
I tried invalidating caches, reinstalling IntelliJ and Windows, checking Gradle version, and even buying a new PC. Buying a new PC temporarily resolved the issue, but it has now returned. Also using another IDE like Eclipse fixes the issue too. Expected project to load, but got "D:\System Volume Information" error instead.

Issue was resolved by installing both IDEA and JDK to their default locations. (Originally were both were installed on the D drive).
