Opening an issue here as requested in [here](https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-azurerm/issues/6690) Getting an issue on some Windows 10 workstations where they get the error when trying to run terraform. `Error: Failed to instantiate provider "azurerm" to obtain schema: timeout while waiting for plugin to start` This does not occur when running the same code on Mac or Linux. ### Terraform Version 0.12.24 Tried azurerm providers 2.7.0 - through 2.12.0 with same results. Code gives error on 2.6.0 provide because we are using "address_prefixes" in the Azurerm_subnet resource. ### Terraform Configuration Files Happening with all modules. The same modules run fine on Linux and Mac OS. ### Debug Output Do not have at this time. ### Crash Output Do not have at this time. ### Expected Behavior Terraform plan would run normally ### Actual Behavior Receive the error. `Error: Failed to instantiate provider "azurerm" to obtain schema: timeout while waiting for plugin to start ` ### Steps to Reproduce Run `terraform plan` ### Additional Context The issue can be hit or miss. It is happening on some workstations but not on all. ### References https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-azurerm/issues/6690
