Other Steps to Reproduce

Created another username without special characters. -> Error gone.

I have checked existing issues, online documentation and the Troubleshooting Guide

Not sure if we can do anything here. The username was not escaped by the IDE when it constructed the recipes.

Thanks for the ping @me-no-dev, we are investigating.

@ChristianPrei, it would be helpful if you could repeat the tests using your problematic user and the latest Arduino CLI, since the CLI contains a number of fixes not yet in the current IDE. Thanks!

Same error with latest Arduino CLI

Update procedure is a little unclear. I replaced C:\Program Files\Arduino IDE\resources\app\lib\backend\resources\arduino-cli.exe and Arduino IDE could not start. Replaced the file after Arduino IDE is started and got the same error.
