What does rustup target add x86_64-pc-windows-gnu --toolchain stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu say? You probably need to uninstall your stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu toolchain and reinstall it

To clarify, this is not a cross issue, its rustup

yeah I had to manually remove files. because rustup had semi-installed the windows-gnu target. but not installed enough for it to be removable via the rustup command
