Found a regression in Windows Server 2022

Microsoft

Found a regression in Windows Server 2022 since evaluating the preview. Have recently installed all the latest updates and the issue is still reproducible. How should we report this issue?

Thanks for your feedback. Please provide the exact steps where the problem occurs so that we can attempt to reproduce the issue.

Sure I have a *.cpp file that you can run to reproduce this issue. Should I simply copy and paste the content here?

@Mary Hoffman please see the code below. To reproduce, build this cpp file as a console app in Visual Studio (I used VS 2019 but should not matter) first and create a dummy file with the name "¢.¢" (also tested with "£.£"). It works in Windows 10 and some other Windows platforms but failed in Windows Server 2022.

The expected output is shown below (in Windows 10):
AreFileApisANSI() returned 1
cchBytesWritten: 2
fNotMappable: 0
pszFileName: ¢.¢
DeleteFileA() of dummy file returns: 1
DeleteFileA() of ¢.¢ returns: 1

But in Windows Server 2022, deleting the file "¢.¢" failed. 

// TestVar23.cpp : This file contains the 'main' function. Program execution begins and ends there.

void ErrorExit()
{
    // Retrieve the system error message for the last-error code

    LPVOID lpMsgBuf;
    LPVOID lpDisplayBuf;
    DWORD dw = GetLastError();

    FormatMessage(

        (LPTSTR)&lpMsgBuf,
        0, NULL);

    // Display the error message and exit the process

    lpDisplayBuf = (LPVOID)LocalAlloc(LMEM_ZEROINIT,
        (lstrlen((LPCTSTR)lpMsgBuf) + 40) * sizeof(TCHAR));
    StringCchPrintf((LPTSTR)lpDisplayBuf,

        TEXT("Failed with error code %d: %s"),
        dw, lpMsgBuf);

    ErrorExit();

@Mary Hoffman is there any update? Just wondering. Thanks! 

I've forwarded this on to the appropriate team and they are investigating. I don't have any further updates yet. Thanks for your patience.
Thank you!
Just want to see if there's any update. If not, I can check back in the new year.

@Mary Hoffman, checking in again. Have there been any updates on the issue?
