Linter doesn't work on Windows

[inliquid]

Welcome

• Yes, I'm using a binary release within 2 latest major releases. Only such installations are supported.
• Yes, I've searched similar issues on GitHub and didn't find any.
• Yes, I've included all information below (version, config, etc).
• Yes, I've tried with the standalone linter if available. (https://golangci-lint.run/usage/linters/)

Description of the problem

I'm using VS Code and run linters from there. In one of the projects golangci-lint doesn't work on Windows. Exact same setup on Linux runs fine. One of the possible causes is that there some cgo indirect dependency on github.com/DataDog/zstd.

Here is the output:

As I said, exact same thing runs on Linux with no issues.

I also tried running another linters, such as revive, and they also work well. Problem is only with golangci-lint on Windows.

Tried both with and without gcc toolchain in %PATH%.
