NVM4W Version:      1.1.12
NVM4W Path:         C:\Users\ASUS\AppData\Roaming\nvm\nvm.exe
NVM4W Settings:     C:\Users\ASUS\AppData\Roaming\nvm\settings.txt
NVM_HOME:           C:\Users\ASUS\AppData\Roaming\nvm

NVM_SYMLINK does not exist yet. This is auto-created when "nvm use" is run.

IPv6 is enabled. This can slow downloads significantly.

PROBLEMS DETECTED

I am facing the same issue with NVM 1.1.7
Win 10 without admin privileges (nvm installed through corporate software distribution)
Switched nvm root to a writeable folder: %USERPROFILE%\nvm
Both when using cmd.exe or MINGW64

@johnmaju - how did you install NVM4W? Many users of scoop have been reporting this issue (#1069).

@mar10br0 - sounds like the corporate install isn't delivering elevate.cmd.
