npm -v command is not returning the version of npm on Windows 8.1 cmd

I have installed the latest version of node.js with inbuilt npm in my Windows 8.1 operating system using .msi
I am getting the version "v10.15.3" from command node -v.
But when I type the command npm -v, the batch is started and it is not giving me the version. The cursor is staying same place:
```
C:directory> node -v
v10.15.3
C:directory> npm -v
_
```
When I interrupt the batch using Ctrl+C, it shows the message "Terminate batch job (Y/N)?"
I have installed lower version of node too, but same issue is occurring.

Please let me know from where I was wrong or please provide the solution for this.
