Most users on Windows 10 have problems on build with de "desktop.ini" files.

I am a Windows 10 user and don't really know what you mean by that. Can you elaborate?

The desktop.ini file is a hidden file used to store information about the arrangement of a Windows folder. Essentially, if the layout or settings for a folder are changed, a desktop.ini file is automatically generated to save those changes.

When i install a plugin or add a platform, many files are generated automatically. When i execute a run or build command, the cli return error indicating a problem with this files.

Ok, never noticed that here.

What error do you get because these files exist?

This seems to be a known issue when storing data on Google Drive. I've been having it, myself. I moved that repo off the g drive.

Jesus, i'm too late. Like @nyambol says, these errors occurs because the Google Drive, changing the storing to another place resolve this issues. Thanks and sorry for a too late answer.
