While running a nodejs application that is managed by pm2 I cannot manipulate a file on disk

[iii-james]

Description
When I try to delete a file I get the error below. Seems to be a rights issue but not sure where the issue is coming from so I can address it.
Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, unlink my-file.txt

Steps to Reproduce

1. while pm2 is managing my app I cannot delete(unlink) a from disk
2. if I stop pm2 (pm2 stop "my-app") and just start it using "node my-app.js" then make the request the file deletes

Environment

nvm@1.1.9
nodejs@14.7.6
pm2-installer@3.3.1
pm2@5.1.2
windows10

Also if I npm run remove and npm run deconfigure and install pm2 via npm install pm2 -g the file will delete(unlink). However I need this to run as a service to restart on reboot. Any help would be appreciated.

Any help would indeed be appreciated. Any fixes? @iii-james

@Nubebuster I think I ended up changing the PM2 Service "Log On" -> "This account" property to use the domain\username instead of username@domain.

@iii-james wondering how exactly you did that?
