Trying to run concurrently (npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE npm ERR!) - node.js

Question

I am trying to create a Full Stack Node & Vue application that takes data from an API. I am running into an issue where I am trying to run both the client and server concurrently but the code is running into an error. Please bear with me if I am structuring this question wrong as I am still fairly new to coding!
This is the following error log:
[0] Error occurred when executing command: npm run server
[0] Error: spawn cmd.exe ENOENT

From what I can tell the program is running fine up until it reaches the "dev" script in my package.json:
{
"name": "apex-tracker",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "Apex Legends user statistics tracker",
"main": "server.js",
"scripts": {
"start": "node server",
"server": "nodemon server",
"client": "npm run serve --prefix client",
"dev": "concurrently \"npm run server\" \"npm run client\""
},
"author": "Jared Mackay",
"license": "MIT",
"dependencies": {
"concurrently": "^5.0.1",
"dotenv": "^8.2.0",
"express": "^4.17.1",
"morgan": "^1.9.1",
"node-fetch": "^2.6.0"
},
"devDependencies": {
"nodemon": "^2.0.2"
}
}
prior to the errors, the program ran fine when I ran the npm run server command, however upon installing the client folder and adding the client and dev script that's when I ran into my errors.
Here is my server.js that I am trying to run with the client:
const express = require('express');
const morgan = require('morgan');
const dotenv = require('dotenv');
//Load configuration file
dotenv.config({ path: './config.env' })
const app = express();
//Develper logging
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
app.use(morgan('dev'));
}
//Profile routes
app.use('/api/v1/profile', require('./routes/profile'));
const port=process.env.PORT || 8000;
app.listen(port, () => {
console.log(`Server running on ${process.env.NODE_ENV} mode on port ${port}`);
});
I've tried clearing the npm cache, deleting and reinstalling node-modules as well as package-lock.json, but this created more issues rather than fixing them. I had to revert back to an old git commit and now I'm stuck.
I don't think this route .js file is an issue but here it is just in case profile.js:
const express = require('express');
const router = express.Router();
const fetch = require('node-fetch');
router.get('/:platform/:gamertag', async (req, res) => {
try {
const headers = {
'TRN-Api-Key': process.env.TRACKER_API_KEY
}
const { platform, gamertag } = req.params;
const response = await fetch(
`${process.env.TRACKER_API_URL}/profile/${platform}/${gamertag}`,
{
headers
}
);
const data = await response.json();
if(data.errors && data.errors.length > 0) {
return res.status(404).json({
message: 'Profile Not Found'
});
}
res.json(data);
} catch (err) {
console.error(err);
res.status(500).json({
message: 'Server Error'
});
}
});
module.exports = router;
Thank you in advance!

spawn cmd.exe ENOENT
Your program does not know where to find cmd.exe.
