Intellij - Failed to start project in external drive: java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException

Question

I could run my jetty project up to a few days ago with intellij-idea, but since yesterday, when I press run / debug I get:

java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: D:\workspace_professional\01_clients\my_client\workspace\branch_develop

The project workspace is stored onto an external encrypted drive.

What I have tried so far:

Start IntelliJ as Administrator
Unchecked the Read-Only property under Properties but it seems to check back when I reopen the Properties tab (both for the drive root and the folder marked in the stacktrace)
Give all permissions for the entire drive to all users / groups under Properties > Security
Try the replace child object permissions with entries from D:\ (under Properties > Security > Advanced but I get the error:

A few threads from SO about this topic, but the solutions don't work for me:

Tools used are:

IntelliJ IDEA 2018.1.4 (Community Edition)
Build #IC-181.5087.20, built on May 17, 2018
JRE: 1.8.0_152-release-1136-b39 amd64
JVM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o
Windows 10 10.0

Has anyone had this problem and found a solution?

Never mind, this has nothing to do with permissions whatsoever...

When git-pulling, a property was overridden to be empty ("") instead of an actual path ("/bla.file"), thus the jetty launcher could not correctly open a file and triggered a

AccessDeniedException: D:\workspace_professional\01_clients\my_client\workspace\branch_develop

With the property set, it would have read:

D:\workspace_professional\01_clients\my_client\workspace\branch_develop\bla.file

Basically, the solutions is the same as this one linked in the question.
