### 🕗 Version & Regression Information
I use typescript 5.9.3 and have not tested other versions.
### ⏯ Playground Link
_No response_
### 💻 Code
### 🙁 Actual behavior
1. Start VS Code
2. Open a Vue project
3. Open any .vue file
4. Initializing 'tsconfig.json' is displayed on the status bar
5. Compilation / syntax errors are not displayed.
6. It is not possible to use auto completion / intellisense
7. Pressing CTRL-Space just shows "Loading"1.
### 🙂 Expected behavior
For an open .vue file
* Any compilation / syntax errors are displayed.
* It is possible to use auto completion / intellisense (automatically or via CTRL-Space)
### Additional information about the issue
Recently my VS Code seems to have a problem initializing my VueJs workspaces. The problem seems to be related to the TSServer. That's why I create the issue here.
When a .vue file is opened VS Code displays "Initializing 'tsconfig.json'" in the status bar in the lower left-hand corner and it takes at least 20 minute if it finishes at all. Because of this all intellisense features (code completion, error display) do not work as well.
Most of my VueJS workspaces are on a network share and the issue occurs with all of them. The issue does not occur with workspaces on the local hard drive. The issue does not occur on another computer (same extensions, same version of VS Code) where the initialization is finished in less than a minute.
I tried deleting the config folders in my profile (.vscode and AppData\Roaming\Code) and just installing the official Vue extension, but the problem persists. I tried installing VS Code from scratch as well without success.
I compared the tsserver logs of the working and not working computer. While the log messages themselves are more or less identical the computer showing the issues seems to pause the initialization for a couple of seconds once in while:
Working computer:
```

Not-working computer:

```
Why is there a pause of 36 seconds? I found other event longer pauses of 3 min, 33 secondes, 35 seconds, 3 min 17 seconds, e.g.:
```

Info 641 [12:41:35.474] FileWatcher:: Added:: WatchInfo: \\server.tld\web_projekte\node_modules\@types\node\package.json 2000 {"excludeDirectories":["//server.tld/web_projekte/admin/node_modules","//server.tld/web_projekte/admin/**/node_modules","//server.tld/web_projekte/admin/dist","//server.tld/web_projekte/admin/**/dist"]} Project: /dev/null/autoImportProviderProject1* WatchType: File location affecting resolution
```
On the other computer the pause is slightly over 1 second.
When I restart the TS server the delays seem to occur on the same log entries with the same duration.

Research direction
Start with the tsserver logs and the file-watcher initialization entries, especially the pauses while watching files on the network share and autoImportProviderProject1. Compare the working and non-working initialization paths; done means Vue workspaces on network shares finish initialization without prolonged pauses and restore diagnostics and IntelliSense.
