did you copy the hashcat.restore file from another directory ?
The .restore file contains a path from which hashcat was originally launched (cwd, see https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=restore#screenshot) and hashcat will use that directory and move to this folder at start.
You could either try to open the restore file with a hex editor, with a modern text editor that is able to display the bytes evn through most of them are binary or analyze_hc_restore from https://github.com/philsmd/analyze_hc_restore to see which cwd is used within the restore file).
