Some issues impact users that try to run VS Code against slow network drives. Specifically: - [ ] some folders fail to open or display (#26931, #20207, #21397, #21520, #25885) - [ ] we remove folders from the recent folders list when they do not seem to exist even though they are ([13699](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/13699)) - [x] when opening an already opened file, we load its metadata to find out if it changed (#5353) - [x] when opening an already opened file, we open it to detect the encoding (https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/21604) - [x] we close an editor when we detect a file delete event (this can happen from faulty file events) (#11642) - [x] we prevent saving when we think the contents on disk are newer (which seems to happen sporadically on network drives) (#18037)
