How do I fix this problem: "Unable to start the C/C++ language server. IntelliSense features will be disabled. Error: Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, scandir "

Environment

• OS and Version: Windows 11 Pro [Version 10.0.22631.2715]
• VS Code Version: 1.84
• C/C++ Extension Version: 1.18.5
• Local machine
• Use NTFS file system

Bug Summary and Steps to Reproduce

Bug Summary: I can't start C/C++ language server when I update extension C/C++.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to 'Extensions'
2. Update extension C/C++.
   Notes: I can use C/C++ language server before updating. The version was 1.16.3 before.
3. Reload VS Code.
4. See error: Unable to start the C/C++ language server. IntelliSense features will be disabled. Error: Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, scandir 'f:/System Volume Information'
   Just Like:
   

Expected behavior: I hope to solve this problem/bug. I tried on other machines but the same problem arose.

Other Extensions

You can see what extensions I installed in the image below.



I tried to disable other extensions except C/C++, C/C++ Extension Pack, but the problem still arose.

Additional context

No response

Beginne mit dem Startpfad des C/C++-Language-Servers und verwende die gemeldete c_cpp_properties.json sowie die Debug-Logs, um den EPERM-Scan von f:/System Volume Information unter Windows 11 zu reproduzieren. Als erledigt gilt die Aufgabe, wenn der Language-Server startet und IntelliSense nach der Aktualisierung der Erweiterung weiterhin verfügbar ist, ohne dass der Berechtigungsfehler auftritt.
