Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, mkdir 'first-app' when create react app in subfolder of D

Question

I'm new with ReactJs, when I create-react-app in my D folder, it run successfully, but when I create react app in 'D:\workspace' it showed this screen:

node:fs:1398
  handleErrorFromBinding(ctx);
  ^

Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, mkdir 'first-app'
    at Object.mkdirSync (node:fs:1398:3)

  errno: -4048,
  syscall: 'mkdir',

}

Node.js v18.18.0

I've checked File Explorer but there weren't any files named AppData, Local, and npm, I can go to it by cd command but when I used other command it said the file doesn't exist. Can anyone explain this to me, pls?

Run command line with administrator rights will solve permission error.
