Edge Simulator cannot start on Windows if username has space in it

[dogoth]

• VSCode Version: 1.71.1
• OS Version: Win 11 Pro
• Extension Version: 1.25.9

Steps to Reproduce:

1. when installing windows, choose pick a username that has a space in it. eg "John Smith"
2. install Visual Studio Code, Azure IoT Tools
3. start a nodejs iot edge solution (not sure if language choice here is significant)
4. create module, use "Build and Run IoT Edge Solution in Simulator" feature

error message:
"
ERROR: Error while executing command: docker-compose -f C:\Users[username withspace]\AppData\Local.iotedgehubdev\data\data\docker-compose.yml down. Command '['docker-compose', '-f', 'C:\Users\[username', 'withspace]\AppData\Local\.iotedgehubdev\data\data\docker-compose.yml', 'down']' returned non-zero exit status 1.

Does this issue occur when all other extensions are disabled?: Yes/No

further down in the terminal, another hint that the space is the issue:
"No such command: withspace]\AppData\Local.iotedgehubdev\data\data\docker_compose.yml"

looking further into codebases of dependencies, seems that issue is in the iotedgehubdev component
i recreated this ticket in that repo:
