What steps will reproduce the bug?

• create a folder vscode
• run this command in that folder mkdir .vscode && echo {"editor.fontSize": 33}>.vscode\settings.json
• run the following node.js script in a terminal pointing to the folder vscode/.vscode
• run this command in that folder rmdir /s /q .vscode\ && mkdir .vscode && echo {"editor.fontSize": 33}>.vscode\settings.json

const fs = require("fs");

fs.watch("<path to a folder>/.vscode", (eventType, filename) => {
    if (filename) {
        console.log(`Event Type: ${eventType}`);
        console.log(`Filename: ${filename}`);
    } else {
        console.log("Filename not provided");
    }
});

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

Always.

What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?

After running the last command there should be change events reported in an endless fashion.

What do you see instead?

Endless reports of:

Filename: \\?\C:\Users\bpasero\Desktop\testing-watcher\.vscode
Event Type: rename
Filename: \\?\C:\Users\bpasero\Desktop\testing-watcher\.vscode
Event Type: rename
Filename: \\?\C:\Users\bpasero\Desktop\testing-watcher\.vscode
Event Type: rename
Filename: \\?\C:\Users\bpasero\Desktop\testing-watcher\.vscode
Event Type: rename

从 fs.watch API 开始，使用提供的 Node.js 脚本重现 Windows 序列。将重复的重命名事件和路径值与所述的预期行为进行比较，然后跟踪 Windows 文件监视路径。当重现不再产生非预期的无休止事件，且相关行为已由测试覆盖时，即表示完成。
