Description
### Apache NetBeans version
Apache NetBeans 13
### What happened
When you create a local project from the WSL2 (windows subsystem linux) file system on windows, everything is accepted but then NB fails to load the files, for example my path to the project folder on windows WSL is
\\wsl$\Ubuntu-18.04\var\www\project
### How to reproduce
install WSL2 on windows 10 and then install ubuntu server from Microsoft store
new project - with existing sources use the WSL2 path
\\wsl$\Ubuntu-18.04\var\www\project
project does not load files

Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the issue on Windows 10 with WSL2 Ubuntu 18.04, Apache NetBeans 13, and the provided \\wsl$\Ubuntu-18.04\var\www\project path. Start by tracing how a New Project with Existing Sources loads files from that path. Done means the project accepts the WSL2 location and its files load in NetBeans.
