If I continue and start Mason, every package I tried install before, keeps in [0/0] Installing... state Uninstall doesn't work eihter.

Expected behavior

No error on start, and Mason install and uninstall packages as expected.

Steps to reproduce

1. use https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim/master/init.lua
2. start nvim

Screenshots

The same config works on other PC, with other username. The error may be, that the path of mason log has an 'Á' character. In the description I've changed my username to User1, but it has special characters.

The utf8 settings mentioned in this comment solves the issue.
