Windows 10: Windows 11 - Issue running .exe if file path includes a space.

This started with the EA app, I assumed this was an issue with EA and not windows. However, since I have started getting this with Word and Cyberghost. It's noticed by going into the start menu and trying to run the app, nothing will happen. If I then run the app as an admin, I get this message: https://imgur.com/a/z2BUt0SI get the same message if I run from a shortcut from the desktop. Fine, annoying but should be able to run from the .exe directly right? Nope.I go into the file location, find the Dashboard.exe executable file and I get the same message, as can be seen in the screenshots her
