Failure running any sh operations on Windows

When running anything in my pipeline that a script, so to say starts with sh it will fail with the exact same error.

My Jenkins is running on an Windows Server 2019.
The error is always the exact same for different scripts and different projects:

Please let me know if you need any logs or stuff.

Windows machines don’t have sh support from the Jenkins Pipeline. Use bat or powershell.
