Platform with type "Windows_NT" and architecture "ia32" is not supported by @aws-amplify/cli.}

My first AWS project, I was trying to use amplify cli, I used npm i -g @aws-amplify/cli@4.24 and amplify configure worked perfectly. Some way down the project when trying amplify push I got an error which had a fix that said to update cli to latest. When I reinstalled the cli using npm install -g @aws-amplify/cli, the output of amplify configure is PS C:\Users\abdul> amplify configure Platform with type "Windows_NT" and architecture "ia32" is not supported by @aws-amplify/cli.} I even tried npm install -g @aws-amplify/cli --unsafe-perm=true # install latest amplify-CLI to no avail. Can someone explain to me why the newer versions seem not to support Windows? keeping in mind it worked till PUSH on v4.2
