Only works if cmd is run as admin...

These are the env vars used to determine where to save the netrc file. You should set one (probably USERPROFILE) to a writeable space.

@RasPhilCo
Thank you for your reply: I really appreciate you linking me to the precise line!

in the mean time I've confirmed that the system variable HOME is set to %USERPROFILE%
then i did changed it to literally C:\Users\Omar
and it worked
then i changed it back to %USERPROFILE%
and it works now...!

No idea what was going on... but problem solved.

Glad to hear it!
