Subject: [PATCH] Fixes URL parsing on Windows

Addresses an issue where the `cmd.exe` command interpreter on Windows
incorrectly parses URLs containing ampersands ('&') when opening them in
the browser.

Replaces the `cmd` command with `powershell` to properly handle URLs
passed to `Start-Process`.
