node, npm and such is installed, but Powershell is preventing you to use it because npm command is actually a Powershell script, which by default unsigned ones are can't be run without changing the execution policy

#

If you're on Windows 11, Go to Settings > System > For Developers and at around the bottom you'll see PowerShell option, expand it and tick the box.

Maybe enabling Developer Mode from the same page might work and you might want to try that instead but not sure.
