[Windows][7.9.0] npx envinfo@latests fails on Powershell

[cipolleschi]

Hi there, @cipolleschi here from the React Native core team.

We are using netinfo in CircleCI and since last week, it started failing on Windows with:

npm ERR! code ENOENT
npm ERR! syscall lstat
npm ERR! path C:\Users\circleci\AppData\Roaming\npm
npm ERR! errno -4058
npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat 'C:\Users\circleci\AppData\Roaming\npm'
npm ERR! enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.
npm ERR! enoent 

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     C:\Users\circleci\AppData\Local\npm-cache\_logs\2023-06-23T10_36_30_843Z-debug-0.log

Exited with code exit status 1

The failures started suddenly and it looks like that it started at the same time that envinfo 7.9.0 was released.

So far, we mitigated the issue by disabling the invocation of envinfo for Windows, but we would like to get it back.

Could you look into that, please?
Is there anything I can do to support you?

Thank you so much!

Some more information: running the command from a ssh powershell to CircleCI I got this, when doing a cat of the log:
