nx commands yield "process exited with code 1"

Current Behavior

nx commands are leaving open a cmd.exe window with [process exited with code 1] and some node_modules on Windows.

Expected Behavior

Nx commands, e.g. nx affected:build, should run and complete without leaving things open

Steps to Reproduce

mkdir nx-process-exited
npx create-nx-workspace@latest --preset empty code-1
cd .\code-1\
npm i @nrwl/js -D
nx g @nrwl/js:application show-result
nx affected:build

Failure Logs

a cmd.exe window with [process exited with code 1] is left open (maybe 2 of them) also. I observe that these files are left open and are not deletable without a restart

• C:\code-1\node_modules\@parcel\watcher\prebuilds\win32-x64\node.napi.glibc.node
• C:\code-1\node_modules\@nrwl\workspace\src\core\project-graph\daemon\client

I am not aware of any logs

Hello, I have a similar issue with a Nx NestJS/Angular application. When I run nx serve api, a Windows Terminal opens with [process exited with code 1 (0x00000001)].

I’m using:

• Windows 11 (21H2 Build 22000.613)
• VSCode 1.66.2
• Nx 13.9.6

Edit : The problem only seems to happen the first time I run the command after turning on my pc.

I can confirm that disabling the daemon resolves the issue, but that is not ideal.
