Research direction
The report names no source file, test, or entry point; begin by reproducing the Windows dynamic-disk filesystem watcher failure and tracing the reported GetFileAttributesEx path. Done means identifying the cause and making the affected folder's watcher start without this error, with a regression test if the behavior can be reproduced.
