I’m working on a Laravel 11 project on my Windows 10 Pro PC and am encountering some very strange issues. Here are the specifics of my setup and the problems I’m facing:

My Setup:

• OS: Windows 10 Pro
• Version Control: Git (for tracking files)
• Build Tool: Vite (for building static files like JS, CSS, etc.)
• Styling: Tailwind for Admin panel, Bootstrap for the front user side interface
• Other Tools: Laravel ecosystem tools like Debugbar, Composer, etc.
• No Docker: I’m not using Docker for this project.

Issues I’m Facing:

• File Deletions: Sometimes my PHP files get deleted and disappear from my working directory without any action on my part.

• Corrupted JSON Files: Occasionally, my JSON files become corrupted, making them unopenable with broken content.

• Git Issues: Sometimes my Git repository gets broken. Specific files within the .git directory get corrupted or deleted, causing repository issues.

Has anyone experienced similar issues with Laravel or any other PHP projects on Windows 10?
Could there be specific configurations or tools that might be causing these issues?
Any suggestions on additional diagnostics or steps I could take to identify and resolve the problem?

I appreciate any insights or advice the community can offer. Thank you!

Steps I’ve Taken So Far:

• Checked for Malware/Viruses: Ran multiple scans using different antivirus programs to ensure my system is clean.

• File System Check: Used chkdsk to check for disk errors, but no issues were found.

• Reinstalled Git and Laravel: Tried reinstalling Git and Laravel to ensure no installation corruption.

• Disabled Background Programs: Stopped non-essential background programs that might interfere with file operations.
