Description

Executables shipped with volta may spawn tons of process and drain out memories.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Install volta.
  2. Install node using volta install node.
  3. Run node.exe from the Explorer.

Environment:
Operating System: Windows 11 23H2
Volta: v1.1.1
Node: 20.12.2 (latest)
npm: 10.5.0 (shipped with Node)

Screenshot:

Log:

"node"
Volta v1.1.1

Node is not available.

To run any Node command, first set a default version using `volta install node`

Error cause: The paging file is too small for this operation to complete. (os error 1455)
