bug: activation fails silently on Windows

Description

on the latest vscode release on Windows, the latest pre-release of modern fortran seems to not be successfully activating all parts of the extension. From the logs it appears that the extension gets stuck in the linter initialization but because the activation is asynchronous I can't be sure without diving in.

A guess would be that it has something to do with the filesystem creation of the persistent cache. Maybe windows lacks permissions for the APPDATA directory?
