    Sh*t, docs was up since 1703 but I guess it was implemented in windows in 1903, I was looking whats new in 1903 and totally miss it

    From 1903 everything outside %systemroot% has PHCM_DISGUISE_PLACEHOLDER for default.

    Changing it to PHCM_EXPOSE_PLACEHOLDERS,  makes everything good, and the sun to shine.

    The reasoning for this was that many devs don't understand reparse points. Can't argue there.
