<sigh> one of these daze I must learn Unix.

in the meantime, Windoze remains a Moving Target
wrt Controlled Folder Access
see note.2 BitDefender

in whichever root folder you plan to install TeXlive

e.g.:

C:\program-files\texlive\

New folder: 2022

right-click:
  Give Access to:
    specific people
   <highlight user(s)> share


While reviewing my folder with *.sty

C:\program-files\texlive\texmf-local\tex\latex\local

I found I could not edit files there!

Fixing that involved "give access to" to myself
for each child folder

note.1:
while getting ready to do this year's install
I have (re)discovered Windoze God.Mode:

note.2:
BitDefender Antivirus (free)
