      Describe the bug
      If I attempt to open a database in Realm Studio that lives on the WSL instance, I get an error: 

      LockFileEx() failed: Incorrect function.

      and

      "No schema selected"

      This happens with both "File open" and double-clicking the file.

      To Reproduce
      Steps to reproduce the behavior:

      1. Create a realm file in a WSL instance
      2. Try and open it
      3. See error

      Expected behavior
      If I copy the .realm file to the Windows file system, it opens just fine.

      Additional context
      I also tried opening it when it wasn't in use, same result.
