### Bug description

<img width="960" alt="image" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/786803/187203159-ab45f23a-5612-483e-8006-b719c47350dd.png">

 I am generating a blog site with quarto on windows 11 using vscode. Freeze directory is not generated on running quarto render command on cmd.exe or using Quarto render project command in vscode.  (Additionally, I  tried creating a _freeze directory manually before rendering . That directory got deleted after render command was executed)

My _quarto.yml is as follows 

```

project:
  type: website
  pre-render: custom2qmd.py

website:
  title: "qblog"
  navbar:
    right:
      - about.qmd
      - icon: github
        href: https://github.com/
      - icon: twitter
        href: https://twitter.com
format:
  html:
    theme: cosmo
    css: styles.css

execute:
  freeze: auto
```

and _metadata.yml in posts directory is as follows:-
```

# options specified here will apply to all posts in this folder

# freeze computational output
# (see https://quarto.org/docs/projects/code-execution.html#freeze)
freeze: auto

# Enable banner style title blocks
title-block-banner: true
