Neo4J Desktop 1.4.5 windows - Launch errors

I am completely new to Neo4j. I downloaded Neo4j desktop 1.4.5 to my windows 10 PC. The installation was successful. However I am unable to launch the application. I find this error in the logs and unsure what could be causing it.
[2021-05-25 16:53:14.513] [error] App initialization error: Error: spawn EPERM {

}

Could someone please help me with understanding what might be causing this issue and how I can resolve it?
