Description
See https://dev.azure.com/Python/8e426817-76c0-4b99-ba9e-a48a1e4bd5db/_apis/build/builds/165339/logs/23 for example
There are many failures relating to the Unicode path name, varying between "not found" and "not accessible".
Usually, most tests pass on re-run, though occasionally some fail again. It's not immediately obvious what the cause or solution is, but it should be investigated.

Research direction
Start with the Azure build log at https://dev.azure.com/Python/8e426817-76c0-4b99-ba9e-a48a1e4bd5db/_apis/build/builds/165339/logs/23 and inspect the Windows 32-bit CI tests reporting Unicode path names as not found or not accessible. Reproduce or compare reruns, then identify the cause and make the failures reliable rather than intermittent.
