Comment (by jdeep):

 Hi @369work.

 I took a look at the description and one thing caught my eye. You
 mentioned that you got this error:

 ''file_get_contents(D:\xampp\htdocs\wordpresswp-includes/css/dist/block-
 library/common.min.css): Failed to open stream: Permission denied
 '' Interesting part about this is the missing separator between
 `wordpress` and `wp-includes` along with the mixed use of forward and
 backward slashes.

 The error is most likely originating from [https://github.com/WordPress
 /wordpress-develop/blob/31a8ce49797f926956b277e18686890136ab584a/src/wp-
 includes/script-loader.php#L1821 this line in core].

 Can you check your `wp-config.php` to see what your `ABSPATH` is set as
 and if it contains a trailing slash like
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/6.8/wp-config-
 sample.php?marks=98#L98 here]?

 If it does not, then that is most likely the issue since `ABSPATH` is
 expected to have trailing slash.

 Regarding not being able to edit core files using the Windows File
 Explorer, I will have to investigate deeper into this through a Windows
 machine and I will post here if I find anything.
