Antigravity breaks Discord and system permissions. I am sick of fixing this broken IDE instead of working

Thought I’d post my fix here, considering I just had this happen for the second time with the latest update. Here’s a powershell script that might help someone else out

#Requires -RunAsAdministrator

$paths = @($env:LOCALAPPDATA, $env:APPDATA, "C:\Program Files")
$removed = 0

foreach ($path in $paths) {
    Write-Host "Scanning: $path"
    $acl = Get-Acl $path

    $rules = $acl.Access | Where-Object {
        $_.IsInherited -eq $false -and
        $_.IdentityReference.Value -like "S-1-15-2-*"
    }

    if ($rules.Count -eq 0) {
        Write-Host "  No rogue AppContainer entries found."
        continue
    }

    foreach ($rule in $rules) {
        Write-Host "  Removing: $($rule.IdentityReference.Value) | $($rule.FileSystemRights)"
        $acl.RemoveAccessRule($rule) | Out-Null
        $removed++
    }

    Set-Acl $path $acl
    Write-Host "  Done."
}

Write-Host ""
Write-Host "Verifying..."
$allClean = $true
foreach ($path in $paths) {
    $acl = Get-Acl $path
    $match = $acl.Access | Where-Object {
        $_.IsInherited -eq $false -and
        $_.IdentityReference.Value -like "S-1-15-2-*"
    }
    if ($match) {
        Write-Host "STILL PRESENT at: $path"
        $allClean = $false
    } else {
        Write-Host "CLEAN: $path"
    }
}

Write-Host ""
if ($allClean -and $removed -gt 0) {
    Write-Host "Fixed! Removed $removed rogue AppContainer ACE(s). Restart any affected apps (Discord, Opera, etc)."
} elseif ($removed -eq 0) {
    Write-Host "Nothing to fix - no rogue AppContainer entries were found. Are you already clean?"
} else {
    Write-Host "Something may still be wrong. Try running as Administrator if you haven't."
}
