Permission denied exception Azure CLI

I just installed Azure CLI and tried running az --version. Getting permission denied exception for file az.sess

OS - Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise (10.0.19041 Build 19041)
Azure CLI Version Installed (latest) -  2.10.1 

Tried running Power Shell as an Admin and making sure the CLI installation is not read only

C:\WINDOWS\system32> az --version
