Windows 10: vagrant up returns Permission denied @ dir_initialize - C:/Users/useradmin

Hello , After updating windows 10, I can't run command vagrant up :

$ vagrant up
Bringing machine 'homestead' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> homestead: Importing base box 'laravel/homestead'...
==> homestead: Matching MAC address for NAT networking...
==> homestead: Checking if box 'laravel/homestead' version '9.6.0' is up to date...
==> homestead: Setting the name of the VM: homestead
==> homestead: Destroying VM and associated drives...
C:/HashiCorp/Vagrant/embedded/gems/2.2.10/gems/vagrant-2.2.10/lib/vagrant/util/platform.rb:272:in `open': Permission denied @ dir_initialize - C:/Users/useradmin (Errno::EACCES)
        from C:/HashiCorp/Vagrant/embedded/gems/2.2.10/gems/vagrant-2.2.10/lib/vagrant/util/platform.rb:272:in `entries'

It seems the path C:/Users/useradmin needs permission, any suggestion ?

What have you tried? Did you try googling the issue?

@Sinnbeck yes I tried to google it but I really found nothing !

As I said since updating windows 10 (security updates) I have this issue !

@Sinnbeck It's okay, I installed homestead from scratch as standard user and it seems working

Thanks
