Intellisense doesn't work on windows case sensitive folders

Environment

• OS and Version: win11
• VS Code Version: latest >= 1.80
• C/C++ Extension Version: latest (2024-3-22

There is already an existing issue: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-cpptools/issues/1994
and a pre-release version: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cpptools/releases/tag/v1.13.0

unfortunately it looks abandoned as it is more than 1 year with no progress and still in pre-release version.
especially as my cpptool plugin is newer than that pre-release version

No response

Additional context

is there anything that can be done without switching to a pre-release version that is older than 1 year in respect of the latest one?

Start by reproducing the failure using the reported Windows 11 setup: enable NTFS case sensitivity on a folder and run C/C++ IntelliSense there. Read existing issue #1994 and compare the current extension with the referenced pre-release; done means IntelliSense works in a case-sensitive folder without requiring that older release.
