I keep getting "PlatformNotSupportedException" when using ConfigurationManager.GetSection on Windows

How is GetSection not supported on Windows? I'm pretty sure this must be some bug or a issue on my side right? my project is targetting NET Standard 2.0 here are some screenshots to show what's happening https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1106166175253151845/1112071483049656360/image.png https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1106166175253151845/1112071495900999802/image.png if you guys need any more information please let me know

it's not .GetSection(), it's the fact that that's the first call into tge system, which is triggering everything to load what's InnerException?
