nvm use exit status 1: Access is denied

I had installed nodejs before without nvm and then deleted it completely by uninstalling and deleting all files.

I am using windows 10.

It works when I use run powershell as administrator, but I am unable to use yarn in vscode.

PS C:\Users\laveen> nvm ls

No installations recognized.

First check node is properly install in your system

  1. Open CMD/Git CMD as administrator (Press Windows+R Type “cmd” and then press Ctrl+Shift+Enter)
  2. Check list of Node version ( nvm list )
  3. Use specific node version ( nvm use 17.7.1 )
