Windows uses some file extensions to determine which file to run when given a non-existing file. Try all file extensions in the $PATHEXT environment variable, which defaults to
.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH;.MSC;.CPLon Windows 11.This allows to run
process("calc")instead ofprocess("calc.exe").
