@kvprasoon no. With this change, it should work the same as with Windows PowerShell before we added the check for hard links. |

We could remove if-s:
bool succeeded = InternalSymbolicLinkLinkCodeMethods.GetFileInformationByHandle(handle, out handleInfo);
return succeeded && (handleInfo.NumberOfLinks > 1);

@daxian-dbw FYI, I had to go back to the PR to figure this one out. The message used to commit wasn't as good as the PR title |

PR Summary
Some files in the user directory on Windows such as 'NTUSER.DAT' cause the IsHardLink() check to fail with an INVALID_HANDLE win32 error. This causes the
Modeproperty to fail being defined even though it was fine up until that last api call. I don't see any reason to throw an exception if the hard link check fails, instead just return false since we cannot determine it's a hardlink.Fix #7353
