Node Version Manager
To resolve your NVM issues on Windows, try reinstalling NVM and Node by uninstalling both, then reinstalling NVM for Windows and using it to install the desired Node.js versions. Ensure your environmental variables are correctly set, with paths pointing to the installed Node.js versions managed by NVM, and verify that NVM_HOME and NVM_SYMLINK are correctly configured. Open a new Command Prompt or PowerShell window, run nvm use [desired version], and check the Node.js version to confirm the correct version is active. Use sudo to avoid permission issues, and make sure you're using the latest version of NVM for Windows. More on reddit.com

r/learnprogramming on Reddit: Node Version Manager
June 16, 2024 -

Hello gang, I am having issues using Node version manager on windows. I have checked my environmental variables, manually added paths via my bash file, and i used the powershell, command prompt, and git bash. NVM commands work fine but node -v and npm -v will not work at all. Incredibly frustrating as i was in the middle of working on AWS services so this is incredibly counter productive. Any advice?

I should add that i was using the latest version of node up until today without any issues. An application or project i was working on necessitated an older version of Node.js. The Windows support article https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/dev-environment/javascript/nodejs-on-windows explains in few details additional processes i could take to resolve the issue so i have been relying on information found on the web. I can send photos of my environmental variables although i am very cautious uploading any information regarding my local machine via a subreddit about programmers learning. Unfortunately not all humans live for the betterment of the human race. If anyone has dealt with this problem. let me know a resource i can delve into or how you resolved the issue.

I was using Volta (just upgraded to 2) but now pnpm has stopped working, with a node version error. I am assuming it’s down to Volta. It’s a huge shame as I really like it (Volta).

September 3, 2024 - NVM solves this by allowing you to seamlessly switch between various Node.js versions on your machine, keeping each project’s environment isolated and stable. NVM is mostly supported on Linux and Mac. It doesn’t have support for Windows. But there’s a similar tool created by Coreybutler to provide an nvm experience in Windows called nvm-windows. nvm-windows provides a management utility for managing Node.js versions in Windows.
