Intellij IDEA does not create new project properly, java.io.IOException: CreateProcess error=5, Access is denied

See original GitHub issue

What happened

Creating a new Project on IntelliJ IDEA, it show me only 3 files f_demo7.iml, f_demo7.ipr, f_demo.iws. But if I run Flutter create f_demo7 on the command line, it creates the project normally.

I am using Windows 10, and a new Flutter installation using master branch, and also run flutter doctor.

C:\Users\claud\Development\flutter>where flutter C:\Users\claud\Development\flutter\bin\flutter C:\Users\claud\Development\flutter\bin\flutter.bat

Flutter Doctor result
