Local directory mapped to a drive - cannot find in Admin mode

[azriels]

Issue Type: Bug

I mapped local directory to a drive letter:
subst K: C:\sql\k

When VSC in 'normal' mode:
PS C:> cd k:
PS K:>

When VSC in Admin mode:
PS C:> cd k:
Set-Location: Cannot find drive. A drive with the name 'k' does not exist.
PS C:>

how does this related to vscode? isn't that a bug to report against windows?

You are right - I did not think about it, just came across this problem using vscode. I tried command prompt, admin and regular, and admin has the same issue.
