I did a fair amount of poking around with this issue and found the following combination of suggestions to work for me.
I am running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, Homestead 2.0 and install all my projects in a "code/project name" directory

Seems the main reason for NPM not working on Windows machines is it runs up against the file name character limit in Windows even though
you are installing on your vagrant/homestead box.

First I added this to my homestead.rb file:

config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb| vb.customize ["setextradata", :id, "VBoxInternal2/SharedFoldersEnableSymlinksCreate/v-root", "1"]
