i have the same problem.

Lens Version: 2024.1.170738-latest
Chrome: 114.0.5735.289
OS: windows 10 enterprise 19044.3803

lens.log entry:
error: [SHELL-SESSION]: failed to open a local shell Failed to get directory containing kubectl: Error: Failed to symlink bundled kubectl {"stack":"Error: Failed to get directory containing kubectl: Error: Failed to symlink bundled kubectl\n at C:\Program Files\Lens\resources\app.asar\node_modules\@lensapp\core-main\dist\index.js:4085:15"}

based on other similar issues, i deleted everything under:
C:\Users<uid>\AppData\Roaming\Lens\binaries\kubectl
and restarted lens. the bundled folder did reappear but with no content.

Lens Version: 2023.12.281947-latest
Chrome: 114.0.5735.289
OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 10.0.19045 Build 19045

I had the exact same issue for Windows. I was able to resolve by closing Lens application, deleting the C:\Users<USER>\AppData\Roaming\Lens\binaries\kubectl folder and then relaunching Lens as Admin.

Hope this helps someone else!

Looks like the final result of the binaries should be a folder called bundled with a app shortcut to C:\Users<USER>\AppData\Local\Programs\Lens\resources\x64 where the kubectl exe resides
