I faces this issue while using the windows subsystem for Linux and solved it by adding C:\Windows\System32 to Environment Variables Path. Environment Variables can add as follow.

go to

control panel -> System and Security ->System -> Advanced System Settings.

From the appearing dialog box, select Environment Variables, and then under System Variables select the path and select edit and add C:\Windows\System32. Restart the machine.
