Can you attach a debugger or via dotnet dump see what parameters it is passing to the native call?

Atttached the dump file (7zip splitted); not sure if it was done correctly.
dump_20240228_111938.zip.001.remove.this.trailing.zip

You should be able to repro this bug. I run

..however many colleagues are running different versions with similar results.

Is this is a crash or just a FileNotFoundException?

[JensNordenbro]

Whats the difference?
Just try it out with a console app doing the login on a new local user and see it fail on Windows sandbox.
