**After Windows 10 fresh install finished, Dremio fails to start.**

Log file shoes error:  
`"Failed to create a directory: C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Local\Dremio\db\catalog:The system could not find the specified path"`

I have permissions to read & write on that path, and really tried everything mentioned in the forum. CPU seems to suport AVX2. Java it’s updated to 191,
