pm2 not working with ESM on windows

[yinonby]

What's going wrong?

pm2 start api.js

8|api | Error [ERR_UNSUPPORTED_ESM_URL_SCHEME]: Only file and data URLs are supported by the default ESM loader
8|api | at Loader.defaultResolve [as _resolve] (internal/modules/esm/resolve.js:619:11)

8|api | code: 'ERR_UNSUPPORTED_ESM_URL_SCHEME'
8|api | }

How could we reproduce this issue?

run pm2 on module where package.json has "type":"module"

Supporting information

The same command on the same project works fine on Linux.
