This issue isn't stale. Standard still throws errors on Windows due to symlinks |

For context on why this was closed, we observed that the bug doesn't happen when the symlink is created using the junction option. As such, it probably was never a bug with Standard. |

When running standard I get this error due to .symlink's I believe.

I did a little more investigation and this is what's happening oddly enough. When I have it in the initial folder and name it
test, usenpm run prodto generate the .symlink files, and thennpm run standardit will fail. BUT if I cd out of the folder thenren test test2to rename the folder, CD back into it, then runnpm run standardit runs fine. I'm assuming that renaming the folder breaks the links which is why it is working for some reason, but I'm looking to fix the issue itself.This is the folder that keeps failing

I also added:
to my package.json plus it's already in my .gitignore
Any help would be appreciated I'm not sure if this is an issue with Standard on Windows or what.
Thanks!
