Maybe the setup is incompatible with npm or something? You were using yarn, it seems. And npx with other params as in the electron-forge docs. I did reproduce it on different, freshly setup windows 10 machines in PowerShell (8 machines at our office, 2 at home) with the same error result when copy pasting the my commands above.

As you can see, I took screenshots of all steps.

Maybe you should add to the docs, that Windows10 / PowerShell / NPM is not supported.
