Sounds like a known issue

https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/39224

Core issue seems to be that Windows localizes names of built-in users and groups. On my non-English Windows system, there does not exist a group called "Authenticated Users". It exists using a localized name. Hence, the solution implemented in that commit will never work on non-English Windows systems.
