Node/libuv assertion error on Windows self-hosted GitHub Actions runner #686
Description
I'm using a self-hosted GitHub Actions runner on Windows and I'm seeing the following error when using setup-uv@v7 (I've bisected the appearance of the error to v7.0.0):
Assertion failed: !(handle->flags & UV_HANDLE_CLOSING), file src\win\async.c, line 76

As you can see, uv installs successfully, but then the workflow aborts.
This appears to match a known upstream Node issue on Windows? But I'm not sure exactly what's going on here.
