That's because os.platform() returns 'win32' for windows and not 'windows' as here. Check my fork for proper solution.

I am getting 'win32' for windows, so it falls back to the cpus(). I changed it to else if (platform === 'windows' || platform === 'win32') {

Node 18.14.0 and newer support os.availableParallelism() which should be used instead of os.cpus().length, this still only returns the number of logical processors, not the number of physical processors.
