Ignition Designer launch error - java.io.IOException

I've been getting this error that has been a major thorn in my side. In the Ignition console it is saying

13:13:04.800 [Designer-Startup] ERROR designer.JXBrowserUtil - Failed to start Browser Engine with options
com.teamdev.jxbrowser.engine.EngineOptions:

com.teamdev.jxbrowser.engine.ChromiumBinariesExtractionException: Failed to extract Chromium binaries into C:\Users\TYMITTLEIDER.ignition\cache\resources\jxbrowser\7.12.1

Caused by: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "C:\Users\TYMITTLEIDER.ignition\cache\resources\jxbrowser\7.12.1\7zr.exe": CreateProcess error=5, Access is denied

Caused by: java.io.IOException: CreateProcess error=5, Access is denied

Seems like it thinks it doesn't have access to this particular program. I went and looked in this folder and the 7zr.exe file doesn't actually seem to exist in this folder. Would appreciate any help/suggestions on how to remedy this issue.

The full console message:

I have tried reinstalling the gateway and designer, launching the designer from admin, clearing the cache, restarting, none of this helped.

Seems like a permissions issue... got any AV software you can try disabling?

It appears that windows defender is indeed blocking whatever version of 7zip this is...

I had a coworker send me their \7.12.1 file and replaced it, and that fixed the problem. Unsure if this issue is particular to me, but Ignition version 8.1.21 that I downloaded from the archived releases did not work right.
