If these are not set, `C:\WINDOWS` is used as a fallback, but this directory is typically inaccessible (and generally not really a directory you want to leave temp files in).

>> Tested locally with a simple test that calls [`Files::createTempFile`](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/22/docs/api/java.base/java/nio/file/Files.html#createTempFile(java.lang.String,java.lang.String,java.nio.file.attribute.FileAttribute...)), and checked that these changes prevent an `AccessDeniedError` from being thrown.
