I don't have a windows system to test, but in all the examples
shown I did not see:
qqx{ C:/Windows/System32/fsutil.exe usn readdata "$FileName" };
which is how I would have expected to write the command.
That is the way I do it in Linux too.
$FileName works without the quotes if the file name does
not have any spaces in it. With spaces, fsutil grips
about not finding the file and you sent one too many
parameters to it.
I will try the shell command

JJ closed it:
"Sorry, Todd, not the place for this. This would
probably go better in StackOverflow or in the mailing
list."
This is the stack exchange post I made (before JJ
closed the bug by the way):
Raku: what is the syntax for shell calls with spaces?
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60425787/raku-what-is-the-syntax-for-shell-calls-with-spaces
JJ gave some examples with the "echo" command and shell,
which was not very helpful.
:
I just added the result to my actually code of doing
that with shell and JJ's echo recommendations and the
problem reproduces.
Reopened the bug at a better location as
recommended by Patrick and Niner:
qqx, shell not operating quotes properly
https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/issues/3518
Turn out it was a duplicate of
How should Proc::Async.new, run and shell call cmd.exe?
https://github.com/Raku/problem-solving/issues/20
Turn out the problem wasn't me this time. Guess there is
a first time for everything. Feels a bit strange though.
I wish it was me, because I can fix that.
