nsd-check script not working on windows 11

In the "Creating a Web Server" "Creating a Web Server with Node Core (2)" page we are required to run "npm nsd-check" but it does not run successfully on my machine:

Edition Windows 11 Pro
Version 23H2
OS build    22631.3958
Experience  Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22700.1026.0

Error:

node:internal/child_process:421
    throw new ErrnoException(err, 'spawn');
          ^

@olegk96 the command is npx nsd-check not npm nsd-check - confirmed as working on Windows.

@olegk96 A solution that worked for me from github issue: edit the startServer function of nsd-check/index.js
file: node_modules/nsd-check/index.js

export function startServer (cwd = process.cwd()) {
console.log('running npm start in current working directory (stdio:\'inherit\'):')
childProcess = spawn(which.sync('npm'), ['start'], {
stdio: 'inherit',
cwd,
env: { ...process.env, PORT },

shell: true

})
...
}
