npm init will not create package.json file

test directory is empty and running npm init doesn't create a package.json file.

error below says there's no such directory which is confusing as I'm in said directory when running npm init command.

PS C:\Users\Sayee\OneDrive\Documents\test> npm init

Press ^C at any time to quit.
package name: (test)
version: (1.0.0)
description:
entry point: (index.js)
test command:
git repository:
keywords:
author:
license: (ISC)
About to write to C:\Users\Sayee\OneDrive\Documents\test\package.json:

  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC"
}

edit:

different error if I manually create an empty package.json file in the directory. Package.json file is not open anywhere and I've tried running terminal as admin.

I believe the issue has nothing to do with npm/node, and it might be due to the special filesystem ownership/permission of C:\Users\Sayee\OneDrive\Documents\.

Disabling Controlled folder access in windows under Ransomeware Protection fixed the issue.
