[BUG] NPX + Powershell + Silent passes no arguments to the application

[mxmauro]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

This issue exists in the latest npm version

• I am using the latest npm

Current Behavior

Assuming I have an app which does the following

console.log(process.argv.slice(2));

And I want to run it without progress bar and no NPM output:

npm --silent --no-progress exec myapp -- some-parameter or
npx --silent --no-progress myapp some-parameter

If I run the command above under Windows PowerShell, the output is:

[]

NOTES:

• It works fine under CMD.EXE and on Linux.
• It works fine, including on PowerShell, if I remove the no-progress and silent parameters.

Expected Behavior

[ "some-parameter" ]

Steps To Reproduce

No response

@mbtools I can't reproduce this issue on recent npm versions so I don't think my PR addresses this
