Error running "ionic serve" with ionic CLI on windows

Hello, I am having an error running the simple command of ionic serve natively in Windows. However, ionic cordova build android works fine in the same shell. This is the error that running ionic serve in cmd.exe gives:

ionic serve
> ng run app:serve --host=0.0.0.0 --port=8100
[ng] 'sh' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
[ng] operable program or batch file.

However, running ng run app:serve --host=0.0.0.0 --port=8100 directly works just fine…

The ionic serve command also works properly in Linux through WSL, however the problem with that approach is that node-sass has to be recompiled with Linux bindings to do this.

Any reason why this is happening, or workarounds/fixes?

Thanks!

Also, below is the more detailed error log running ionic serve --verbose. As can be seen in the log, windows: true is set. However, for some reason, ionic-cli is still trying to execute sh commands in a windows environment?
