New install of Workbench on new Win 11 PC won't local compile simple sketch

Hey, sorry about your issues.
I wonder if a symlink can help here. Not sure yet how, and not even sure if Windows today supports them in a proper way.

Maybe if you create a symlink of c:\Users\Mark Kieh that points to c:\Users\Mark this could work?
I guess you will need to move around/modify particle workbench config files.

Cheers
