I had the same problem this morning. What I've done:

  1. Created a folder to store nvm on a path without spaces and special characters
  2. Copied over the contents of %USERHOME%/AppData/Roaming/nvm
  3. In the environment variables settings of control panel change the NVM_HOME variable (both in your personal and the system settings)
  4. Change the root path in the settings.txt on the new path

After these steps, it worked for me.

I know it's just a workaround but at least you can move on until it's fixed.

Even dots '.' are evil ;) so i changed my setup too, since my username has a dot in it.
