Error ng serve cannot read C: directory : Access is denied

### Command

serve

### Is this a regression?

- [x] Yes, this behavior used to work in the previous version

### The previous version in which this bug was not present was

15.2

### Description

### Angular access denied in C: //

## Context

I built an angular app in my personal computer. This app launch a little dashboard so far.

I tried to clone it into my professional computer to have access to some feature. In this computer, I have limited privileges, which means no writings rights on C:.

When I ran `npm install`, everything went well.

But when I ran `npm run start` i got the following error

```shell
✘ [ERROR] Cannot read directory "../../../../../..": Access is denied. [plugin angular-compiler]
✘ [ERROR] Could not resolve "C:/Users/RGUENOUN/git/other/coreapp-dashboard-feat-register/coreapp-dashboard-feat-register/src/app/pages/registration/registration-form/price-form/price-form.component.scss" [plugin angular-compiler]

```

## Question

**How to fix it ?**
And most importantly, **why Angular is trying to access on C:// instead of staying in his own folder ??**

### Anything else relevant?

_No response_

Reproduce the failure on Windows by running npm install followed by npm run local in the provided project, then compare it with a project created using ng new. Start by tracing how ng serve and the Angular compiler resolve the listed SCSS files and the parent C: directories. Done means the compiler stays within the project path and serves the application without access-denied errors under limited permissions.
