'Could not create service of type ChecksumService using BuildSessionScopeServices.createChecksumService()

I am new in gradle and when I try to simple check gradle built in tasks, I get Build Failed error.

Can anybody explain what is wrong?

I only run 'gradle tasks' on cmd and get next error:

    FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Gradle could not start your build.
> Could not create service of type ChecksumService using BuildSessionScopeServices.createChecksumService().
   > Timeout waiting to lock checksums cache (M:\.gradle\checksums). It is currently in use by another Gradle instance.
     Owner PID: unknown
     Our PID: 14372
     Owner Operation: unknown
     Our operation:

This was a permissions issue for me. I tried running a project on my Mac from my mounted Google Drive directory and got this error.

Moving the project to Documents worked.
