When working on Windows I often use the verion of bash which comes with git. It's obviously not at all the same as WSL, but it gives you a lot of the feel of using a Unix machine while working in windows. The command-line tools work properly, for example.
I see others are offering similar comments, so I'll stop there. Try bash; it's ok in many cases.

For example if you run an EXE command-line tool which looks for Windows environment variables, it won't use the Bash environment variables. Probably not a huge deal, just a gotcha we've hit at my company which caused a lot of wasted debugging time.
