I thought it was just random timeouts until I look into the logs and found that it's always the same EPERM error on Windows. It has been reported to us before that EPERM errors are happening on Windows + Cypress projects. The issue was later moved to the `start-server-and-test` repository but it is still not resolved. <bahmutov/start-server-and-test#384> Furthermore, Windows 11 24H2 and Windows Server 2025 have removed the `wmic` utility, which is used by `start-server-and-test` (via the `ps-tree` dependency). Once GitHub Actions upgrades the `latest` tag to Windows Server 2025, `start-server-and-test` will break completely on our CI. `start-server-and-test` and `ps-tree` are largely unmaintained, so we need to move away from `start-server-and-test` in the near future and then we can re-enable Windows + Cypress tests.

I'm glad that those time-consuming CI jobs have uncovered a real issue this time. 😂 I was considering skipping some of them just because of how slow they are before I found out this real bug… |
