I installed Android Studio (Arctic Fox / 2020.3.1 Patch 1) for Windows and added a gradle.properties file to my username/.gradle directory. However, when I open my android project, Android Studio only recognizes the gradle.properties file that's on project level. I tried adding various path variables such as USER_HOME and GRADLE_USER_HOME but nothing worked.
Well, turns out I'm an idiot and didn't show hidden file endings... Therefore I didn't notice that my file was actually named gradle.properties.txt instead of gradle.properties
