Attaching the log failed, so I pasted it into the report message.

I've also gotten 0xffffffff error codes recently but it works if I just restart it

I've also gotten this error "error: process didn't exit successfully: target\debug\Zed.exe (exit code: 0xffffffff)" after compiling with "cargo run" and "cargo run --release". I've also tried running "rustup update", "cargo clean" and "cargo build" before compiling.

Hello. I tried, compared my log file with other log files in other issues, and found something.

First, environment variable, zed seems to search PATH and Shell variables in environment. In one log file (in issue # 9788) I found it was zsh so I set it to powershell.exe, then environment variable not found disappeared from my log files. I think maybe it is related with msys2's not installed.

Another issue, file not found. There're 3 error messages like crates\fs\src/fs.rs:537: Error { kind: Generic("Input watch path is neither a file nor a directory."), paths: [] } in my log file. My git is mingit without git bash, and my path is %PROGRAMFILES%/gitwin/cmd, which is different from its default path. When I rename gitwin to git (default name), the error message turned to 2 pieces even if I rename git to gitwin. This is strange, and I do not know why.

My computer has a poor performance and disk space, so I haven't try build it my self and try a prebuilt package.
