This error —

Access is denied. (os error 5)
reading file C:\Users\patel\Desktop\16nm Studio\src\components

— means Turbopack or Node.js doesn’t have permission to read one of the files or folders in your project.
It’s a Windows permission issue, not a code bug in your app.

Here’s how to fix it 👇

---

✅ 1. Check folder permissions

1. Right-click your project folder (16nm Studio) → Properties → Security tab.

2. Make sure your Windows user (patel) has Full Control.

3. Click Edit → Add → your username if missing, and check Allow: Full control.

4. Click Apply → OK.

5. Restart VS Code or your terminal, then try:

   npm run dev

---

✅ 2. Avoid spaces in folder names

Windows sometimes breaks when dev tools handle spaces in paths (like "16nm Studio").
Rename your folder to remove spaces, e.g.:

C:\Users\patel\Desktop\16nm-Studio

Then re-run:

npm install
npm run dev

---

✅ 3. Run terminal as Administrator

Sometimes Turbopack (Rust-based) needs elevated file access:

1. Close VS Code / terminal.

2. Open Command Prompt or PowerShell → Run as Administrator.

3. Navigate to your project:

   cd "C:\Users\patel\Desktop\16nm-Studio"
   npm run dev

---

✅ 4. Ensure nothing else is locking files

Check if any of these are holding a lock:

• OneDrive / antivirus / backup tools.
• VS Code’s Live Share or sync extensions.

If so, pause syncing temporarily.

---

✅ 5. Last resort — reset file permissions

If the folder got corrupted:

icacls "C:\Users\patel\Desktop\16nm Studio" /reset /t /c /q

Then restart your computer.

---

💡 Pro tip:
After fixing permissions and renaming the folder, Turbopack should work fine.
If the error persists, run with the legacy compiler:

next dev --no-turbo

and verify it’s a Turbopack-specific issue.
