Summary
Hello, I have a brand new install of 5.8, and created a blank project (C++). I use Visual Studio, and the solution it generates already comes with an exception:
Project: Microsoft.Automation.csproj
Recoverable
System.InvalidOperationException: Project or targets file “C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_5.8\Engine\Source\Programs\AutomationTool\Microsoft\Microsoft.Automation.csproj” was loaded in read-only mode, and cannot be saved.
I would like to solve this so I don’t have to look at it every time I open visual studio. I did see the project and folder was marked read only, but removing that (from file explorer propterties menu) does not change the behavior. This does not happen on 5.7.4.
