Summary
When manually marked as hidden on Windows, trying to update .yarnrc with the latest lastUpdateCheck time caused an EPERM error to be printed to the console and the file to not be updated. As a result, yarn would attempt an update check on every run, instead of every day, slowing the install process for Windows users as well as printing the unsightly error message.
Linked issue: #4306
Test plan
With each test, the command
yarn install
was used.
