cypress: Cypress doesn't load or open its window

Current behavior

Cypress won’t load and it is indicating a vague cannot find module when I’ve upgraded to v10.1.0 it was working previously with 9.7.0 where it loads all spec lists. I did try the following:

cypress open -b chrome --e2e
cypress open

all of the above did was open the window but it is stuck in a loading state.

I have the same problem.

node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:936
  throw err;

Can confirm the continuation of the path should be C:\Users\Samuel Preston.… I suspect the space hasn’t been handled properly.

10.2.0 is experiencing this issue. Downgraded to 10.0.3

By leaving my Windows machine logged in to the profile with the space in the name, I was able to reproduce this issue while testing the reproduction provided in another issue: https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/22303#issuecomment-1157538846

Here is the example that reproduces the issue: rename-files.zip

What seems to be in common between this project and some of the info provided above is typescript, so it’s possible some of the changes around typescript detection between 10.0.3 and 10.1.0 introduced this issue.
