Yes, I encountered the same issue. npm was downloaded to the \Temp\nvm-install-\temp folder, but it seems that the installation process didn't use this path to extract it.

Went back to v1.1.12 and all good again

I can confirm that this is also happening with node 12.14.1.

Apparently, it is happening with older versions of node.

I also believe this is related to #1209
