Description

### Describe the bug

I'm trying to run the exe from the latest release (1.0.62) and I get this error:
```
Failed to extract bundled package: Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, rename 'C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\copilot\pkg\win32-x64\.extracting-1.0.62-46292-1781510885677' -> 'C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\copilot\pkg\win32-x64\1.0.62'

}
```
Problem started probably with 1.0.62
Now if I attempt the update from cli itself I get the same error.

The system is windows server 2019. This is not winget or npm installation, just the standalone exe.

### Affected version
