Created as a placeholder. This needs to be tested with Windows Server 2025 host to see if this is reproducible outside of the runner image.

I have reproduced this same error while testing if e2e tests work on arm64 Windows (I have reproduced it on a Windows 11 Pro version 10.0.26100 build 26100). I am preparing a PR to fix it.
