Do you have a prior version of Node installed?

On a fresh Win11 machine, I cannot recreate this:

This makes me think a prior installation may be conflicting with NVM. To check, use PowerShell to run gcm node.exe, which will tell you where Windows is looking for the node executable. For example:

If the Source doesn't match your NVM_LINK, then another Node installation is preventing the NVM4W node installation from being run.
