It seems that default-process-coding-system is not setup

default-buffer-file-coding-system is set correctly to:

but default-process-coding-system is:
  (undecided-dos . undecided-unix)
This is because DOS programs and Windows programs use different coding-systems for their output. cmd.exe uses the DOS codepage. So there isn't a single coding-system that is likely to be correct in most cases.
