I find WSL can really help in this regard. It's being actively developed by Microsoft and they're making the interop between WSL and windows better over time (a good example of this is https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/2018/11/05/whats-new-for-wsl-in-the-windows-10-october-2018-update/ https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/2018/11/05/what... on what's new in October) So what I tend to do is use linux install paths and do my scripting work in WSL, with my more GUI/Corp apps in windows. All they need to do now is get raw network sockets working and finish off Linux Docker engine support in WSL and I'll be sorted!
