Path denied error when building UWP app in release

Question

I have been having issues publishing my app. To ensure that it's not my application problem, I created a blank UWP sketch with a single text. When I build it in Debug x64 it seems to work but when I build it in Release x64 I get this error:

Severity    Code    Description Project File    Line    Suppression State    Error      
Access to the path '\\?\<My Project Path>\DeployTest\obj\x64\Release\ilc\intermediate\BuildInfo' is denied.     
DeployTest  \<My Project Path>\DeployTest\LOGGERBASEDEXECTASK

    

I have tried opening Visual Studio as an administrator but still get the same results. This is my first UWP project and it's for internal use in my company.
