    Technically we still need to work on official Windows support: #1397

    I'm having the same issue here, even the verbose logs does not help. The simplest way to make it work is to install code-server in WSL.

    I am having the same problem. I guess I will give WSL2 a try, but ideally installing directly through npm would be easier.

    Any news on this issue? Native Windows support would be great as I need to attach to a Windows process for debugging purposes.

    It's worth noting that the official code-server installation instructions say "We recommend installing code-server onto Windows with npm". So if this is not supported there seem to be some crossed wires.

    Good catch! I removed that reference and one other until we can properly support Windows (it might take some time for the doc change to propagate to coder.com though).
