error: unknown command 'init-windows'

means the react-native CLI doesn't recognize the init-windows command — and that's because init-windows is not a CLI command anymore.

[nocanstillbb]

it work when change node.js version from 22 to 18.18, i miss this document when execute rnw-dependencies.ps1 result != 0

[acoates-ms]

Changing the command from:
npx --yes @react-native-community/cli@latest init rnw --version "^0.81.0"
to
npx --yes @react-native-community/cli@latest init rnw --version "0.81.5"

worked for me. The react-native-community/cli package doesn't seem to like using ^ versions in its init command.
