"doskey" error when using nmake or mingw32-make after Windows 11 update

I have a problem with TDDM-GCC mingw32-make and Microsoft nmake after installing "April 25, 2023-KB5025182 Cumulative Update Preview for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8.1 for Windows 11, version 22H2".

This affects C++ compilations e.g. using DialogBlocks to compile wxWidgets or using the wxWidgets makefiles.

I managed to compile wxWidgets by using a Visual Studio Project file, but both failed when using nmake and mingw32-make . The mingw32-make using DialogBlocks generated the error: "doskey' is not recognized as an internal or external command"; nmake just advises "failed".

Both nmake and mingw32-make worked prior to the Windows 11 update.

Any ideas what has caused the problem and how to resolve?
