Command failed error when running yo after update to 3.1.0 on Windows

[patridge]

After updating my global install of Yeoman on Windows 10 (1903), I can no longer run the yo command successfully from any terminal I try: cmd, Windows PowerShell, or PowerShell Core.

Every time I try, I get an error about a failure from wmic os get Caption (message quoted below). This command, run on its own in a terminal, does indeed produce the Description = Unspecified error as this error message describes.

So far, the only command I can get to run successfully is yo --version, which returns 3.1.0.

Error message

Attempts to fix

• I tried running the wmic os get Caption command from an administrator promt to see if that was the issue, but no luck.
• I tried restarting my terminal windows and even my entire machine after installing the update to Yeoman in case it was some PATH issue. No luck.
• I tried updating Node.js as well (with a cautionary restart afterwards). No luck.

Potentially related items

• I found another Yeoman issue where this was mentioned, but there wasn't any resolution yet.
• This issue on another project had a similar issue with wmic but they closed the issue as related to antivirus.

Going to move this to the correct repo. Sorry about that.
