Rebuild fails on Windows with NSLOG error

Every time I rebuild against electron, the following error is occurring in the command line output:

Additionally, here is the log file that shows the error as

Reboot then run git clean -xdf

git clean was tried several times before. I did it again on your reply, but it doesn’t solve the problem. The file clean appears to be happening after the nslog install and it fails, not before when a problematic file is already there.

This isn’t just my machine, this happens on every Windows system I’ve seen (4 other nodes here locally).

Issue is not resolved.
