Describe the bug
I think there is a regression in the newer versions of vcpkg.
I've only noticed this only on our Windows CI machines.

The error looks like this:
Directory does not exist: C:/Windows/System32/config/systemprofile/AppData/Local/vcpkg/registries/git-trees/97a63e4bc1a17422ffe4eff71da53b4b561a7841

I previously used the vcpkg version with hash 5763791 and everything was working fine. When I use the latest version "2025.07.25 Release" with hash dd3097e I see the error above. Somewhere between these versions a regression occurred, I haven't studied more precisely.

I am using the VCPKG_DEFAULT_BINARY_CACHE environment variable set to the "c:/vcpkg_cache" folder. As before, nothing has changed in this regard. So it is not clear why newer versions of vcpkg started trying to access the directory: C:/Windows/System32/config/systemprofile/AppData/Local/vcpkg/registries/git-trees
