Windows doesn't use fork/exec for process creation in any relevant way today There are Native APIs for implementing fork (needed for the obsolete POSIX subsystem, primarily), but even on the Native API side, processes are usually spawned through NtCreateProcess or RtlCreateUserProcess, though there is a bunch of setup with regards to the Csr APIs for the Win32 CreateProcess[1]).
