Busybox helps you avoid this nicely on Windows. When you run one of one of its shells, it uses all it's own builtins in preference to anything external.

Get the 64-bit version: "there's some advantage in using the 64-bit executable busybox64.exe. In particular, it can be quite a bit faster."

Busybox is nice, but it's kind of like the Blender default cube to me: my only memories of it are removing it on sight to replace with something better.
