OP is on Windows 7, Steve Ballmer was still the Microsoft CEO in 2009 for Windows 7 getting on the shelves (up to 2014).
You know Ballmer was that guy who said that "Linux is a cancer ...//...", then in 2015 with a new CEO, Microsoft completely change direction and even gave money to the Linux foundation...
I'm saying this because in 2009/10 (the year I ditched definitively Microsoft for vey-very good), Microsoft was far to even think to be POSIX compliant, but I'm not anymore sure now after your comment.
Thus one question, when or which Windows version start (to want) to be compliant to POSIX? (I could not recall that the forward slash did ever work using CMD to navigate between folders with later XP nor Vista, although I can not recall to have ever used them for that purpose))
