Network paths don't work anymore with version 3.4.0

(Not sure if this is the correct repo for the issue so pardon me if not)

Running the following code in dart 3.4.0 on WINDOWS raises PathNotFoundException

import 'dart:io';

void main() async {
  print(await File(r'\\my_srv\some_path\test.txt').exists());
  File(r'\\my_srv\some_path\test.txt').copy(r'C:\path\test.txt');
}

but works fine in earlier versions (like 3.3.4 and 3.0.0).

I see there have been some changes like this one (maybe some more) that could be the cause.

I also see that there are not tests set up for network paths so this isn't caught.

Finally I'm not sure why File().exists()) returns true but .copy() can't see the file... shouldn't both methods resolve the paths in the same manner?

This is my OS:

You're probably right... Opened one there instead at
