hi, I'll confirm this. I took a while to reproduce.
It seems there's an issue with file paths/permissions on win at least.
I found that running Blender as Administrator solved the issue.
A side note when using nightly builds and unzipping to a non admin folder such as your downloads folder, this issue does not happen.
We will look into this further.

Hello,
I report my test.
A side note: I have installed Blender from the original installer downloaded from the official web page.

I have tried to run blender as Administrator.
After adding a new material in to the library, I click Reload Material to check if the new material was saved but it's reload the original material list.

I'm available for any other test.

Thankyou.

I have been using the official 2.82 build and it does appear to work for me as well when running as admin, but still gave me the same error message after it worked
