Subject: [PATCH] Refactor Windows app path handling to remove unnecessary
 directory change

- Removed the `chdirSync` call in `ensureWindowsWorkingDirectory` function, replacing it with a check using `existsSync` to streamline the directory validation process.
- This change enhances the reliability of the function by avoiding unnecessary directory changes that could lead to errors.
