Can't update ThemeKit, "Access is denied" – Shopify

So I’ve been using ThemeKit to build a Shopify theme and I’ve been getting a notification in the command-line window that ThemeKit has an upgrade available. It says to use theme update as the command to run to get this done but when I do I get this error message, Could not update and had to roll back. open C:Program FilesTheme Kit.theme.exe.new: Access is denied. Anyone else have this issue? I’m working on Windows 10 if that helps…

    Thanks, @drip, for the solution, which was to open up the command prompt as administrator and then running theme update. Worked like a charm!

    If you are using WSL, it would be sudo theme update, then put your WSL password and it’s done.
