Unable to watch for file changes in this large workspace.

Development Tools IDE 2.x
1

Window 10 64bit, 20H2 (build 19042.844)
DELL Latitude E7470 Core i5

After the initial installation within the IDE I see the following error "Unable to watch for file changes in this large workspace. Please follow the instructions link to resolve this issue."

The instructions take you to a webpage for Linux resolutions rather than Windows 10 instructions.

Hi @rohowo. Thanks for your feedback on the Arduino IDE 2.x beta! This is a known issue:

It doesn't indicate any real problem so please ignore it. I'm hoping it will be fixed in a future release of the IDE.

I am also getting this message on Windows 10 1909.
Seems that when I open Arduino IDE if I wait a few minutes before using editor or doing anything in the IDE the message is less likely to appear.
