Unable to read directory

[informagico]

Last update of VSCode (1.78.1+) improved security over UNC paths, then if you try to access UNC paths without first explicitly allowing them on settings you will get this error:

So if you have private extensions on a network folder, you will see that error.
Don't know where the "Cannot read properties of undefined" is propagating from, could be possibile I will personally investigate later this week and PR something.

I am also using this with a network drive, with a UNC path. 'Fixed' it by adding the server name to the "Security: Allowed UNCHosts" setting (security.allowedUNCHosts)

Maybe in the "CheckForUpdates", check if the paths are UNC and if the server of the path is presesnt in the security setting?
