Steps To Reproduce

1. In this environment...
   Windows 11 64 bits latest
2. With this config...
   nodejs = v16.14.0 // npm = 8.3.1
3. Run '...'
   npm --cwd or --prefix install or run dev, anything will not make npm process files on subfolder, only when entering package.json folder
4. See error...
   npm WARN Ignoring workspaces for specified package(s)

Environment

• npm: 8.3.1
• Node.js: 16.14.0
• OS Name: Windows 11 x64 latest no WSL
• System Model Name: Notebook Avell 256GB NVME 16GB DDR4 NVME RTX 2070 MaxQ
• npm config:

; copy and paste output from `npm config ls` here
; "builtin" config from D:\m_portable\nodejs\APP_PORTABLE\node_modules\npm\npmrc

prefix = "C:\\Users\\😊\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm"

; node bin location = C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe
; cwd = D:\git_projects\arcadia
; HOME = C:\Users\😊
; Run `npm config ls -l` to show all defaults.

No repository files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing the Windows 11 behavior with npm 8.3.1 and Node.js 16.14.0 using the reported --cwd and --prefix commands, then compare it with running npm from the package directory. Done means install and run commands process the target subfolder without the reported warning or ENOENT error.
