execvpe works differently on Windows, see python/cpython#63323 (comment) for more information, tldr: Windows returns control immediately rather than once the executed command has finished.

@wrongontheinternet, thank you. I'll merge this in. I'm not able to test this locally on Windows or on CI. I'm trying to get the CI to work with Windows, so we have more comprehensive tests on Windows, so these don't regress. Some hard test dependencies don't seem to work on Windows, causing a bit refactor of the test-suite. |

This rolls back #523 just for Windows, and resolves issue #536.
Flake8 passes, and pytest breaks because AFAICT the tests are not designed for running on Windows. It resolves the problems I am seeing on Windows 10 & 11 on x64. This is my first contribution, please let me know if there's anything I should investigate further.
