Can run node but not npm on Windows 10/11 PowerShell

[andradei]

I tried installing node and npm (shipped with node) with each of these tools (one at a time)

• Scoop
• Winget
• Direct download from official site

And I have the same issue with all of them where:

• Node runs fine on both Command Prompt and PowerShell
• npm works only on Command Prompt but not on PowerShell

How do I make npm work on PowerShell?

I think it's how the terminal is handling path/whitespace on path
