Problem with xdist while running tests in parallel in windows vms

[sanosuke009]

Facing an weird issue while running pytest tests in parallel using xdist in windows(both 11 and server 2019) vms in vagrant. I am not facing the same in linux vms.

This issue might be able to fix the problem. It suggests that the parameterization needs to be sorted.
