Bug report

Bug description:

import os
os.path.exists("C:/users/<username>/appdata")

Expected result: true.
Actual result: false.

This appears to be a regression introduced with gh-102765 when python moved towards using the new 'GetFileInformationByName' API function on Windows. This seems to have issues when the file/folder is on a profile managed by FSLogix.

The issue exists from Python 3.12.0 through to the latest public release (3.13.3).

Windows version: Windows Version 11 24H2 Multi-Session 26100.3775
FSLogix version: 3.25.202.4223
