Research direction

The issue provides no file, test, or reproduction steps beyond Windows, C_Cpp.caseSensitiveFileSupport being enabled, and intermittent IntelliSense failure. Start by reproducing the failure with that setting and investigate the suspected 1.22.x regression; done means identifying the cause and confirming IntelliSense works reliably in the affected configuration.
