npx @capacitor/cli plugin:generate fails with Gcli.txt in windows

Env:

npm 6.14.9
node v14.15.3
windows 10 (build 19042.746)

using npx @capacitor/cli plugin:generate generates this output:

npx @capacitor/cli plugin:generate

C:\myDir>rstcli.exe -I  1>Gcli.txt

1

and the content of Gcli.txt is

Could not get system information.

Could not get system info

My Current workaround is to install @capacitor/cli globally and use npx cap plugin:generate

So I found what the problem was, maybe this helps another person.

Looks like the Intel Rapid Security Storage software created a file in c:\windows\ called cli.bat, since it was on the path npx it was resolved when npm called cli in the temporal folder for @capacitor .

The content of cli.bat was:

rstcli.exe -I >Gcli.txt

I deleted c:\windows\cli.bat and now everything works.

Also it could work with: npx --ignore-existing @capacitor/cli
