Issue with Azure Resource Creation using Terraform – Error: "Authentication failed, please check your credentials for AzureRM provider"

I am trying to provision Azure resources using Terraform, but I’m encountering an authentication issue that I can’t seem to resolve. I’ve followed the Azure documentation to set up my credentials, and I’ve double-checked my subscription ID, client ID, client secret, and tenant ID. However, I keep getting the following error message:

Error: Authentication failed, please check your credentials for the
AzureRM provider

Error: Error building AzureRM Client: InvalidConfig: Error parsing
json result from the Azure CLI: Error loading the JSON file
‘C:UsersUser.azureaccessTokens.json’: open
C:UsersUser.azureaccessTokens.json: The system cannot find the
file specified.

main.tf

provider "azurerm" {
  features {}
}

resource "azurerm_resource_group" "example" {
  name     = "my-resource-group"
  location = "East US"
}

variable.tf

variable "client_id" {}
variable "client_secret" {}
variable "tenant_id" {}
variable "subscription_id" {}

I’m running Terraform version 0.15.4. My operating system is Windows 10. I’ve ensured that my Azure CLI is updated to the latest version as well.

Can anyone help me understand why I’m encountering this authentication error and how to resolve it? I’ve spent a lot of time double-checking my credentials and searching for solutions, but nothing seems to work.
