Comment:

 I was using Local by Flywheel AI because I heard there would be no
 problems, but sure enough, the permissions for wp-includes\css\dist were
 changed while editing the block theme.
 (D:\LocalSites\make\app\public/wp-includes/css/dist/block-editor/default-
 editor-styles.css): Failed to open stream: Permission denied in
 D:\LocalSites\make\app\public\wp-includes\block-editor.php on line 204

 I can't make any changes, even using PowerShell with administrator
 privileges.
 Cannot access, delete, or view.

 Since there's nothing I can do, I'm currently working on creating a dist1
 in the CSS and changing it to reference that.
 I also added the following to wp-config:
 define( 'FS_CHMOD_DIR', 0755 );
 define( 'FS_CHMOD_FILE', 0644 );
 define( 'DISALLOW_FILE_MODS', false );
 define( 'DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', false );

 Why is this happening?

 I think it's Windows-related, but I'd like to know the cause.
