## Title

    [gitlab-runner] Hangs between stages on docker-windows on Windows 11 with KB5124008

## Body

    ## Observed symptom
    Hangs between stages on docker-windows on Windows 11 with KB5124008
    
    <!-- Briefly summarize the bug -->
    
    So after KB5124008 (and now, KB5129195), our Windows docker jobs got a lot slower. It seems that for some reason there's now a 2 minute delay between every runner stage (prepare, cache, artifact, run, etc etc). This adds at about 20 minutes to every Windows job we have.
    
    ## Environment
    GitHub gitlab-org/gitlab-runner #39826
    
    ## Trigger / context
    Public GitHub report in gitlab-org/gitlab-runner (FRESH_7D).
