Alright well, there's not really any actionable information in this issue, so I'm gonna close it. Please make sure to actually fill out the template with repro steps, version numbers, screenshots, anything that could be used to investigate your issue.

I'm also gonna try and be psychic and guess that you're using WSL, and the startingDirectory you've set is somewhere under \\wsl$\, right? If so, then this is already being tracked in #7197
