Maybe a temporary fork to fix the issue should be done, or maybe a downgrade ? Currently, actual is broken on Windows and the issue link is open since August with no PR opened yet.

I don't have Windows, so sadly I can't reproduce and thus fix it. If anyone is able to repro: a patch PR would be more than welcome.

In the meantime I would recommend using the docker version of Actual. That will work in all environments

I fixed the migrate package for windows here (the PR is in draft): https://github.com/tj/node-migrate/pull/202

I think it should work but would someone on Linux be able to check it still works there?

If you clone it down you can just update your Actual Server package.json "migrate" dependency with:

"migrate": "file:../node-migrate",

where the path is the path to the repo.
