kubernetes: unable to mount the volume on windows node VMs

What happened: unable to mount the volume on windows node VM.

mount is failing with

E0625 00:01:07.109001 1760 mount_windows.go:236] mklink failed: fork/exec C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe: invalid argument, output: “”

Steps:

1. Created SC, PVC, and POD.
2. Note down node on which pod was created.
3. deleted pod.
4. cordoned node noted in the step-2.
5. recreated pod using the same claim.
6. Pod creation is failing with FailedMount.

What you expected to happen: Volume should be mounted on node VM.

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible): See the steps above.
