The Quick Start documentation page says that Windows users should only start Hugo from WSL or PowerShell, not the command prompt or Windows Powershell.
Does this apply to the standard version or only the extended edition? If applies to both, which was the last release that could be run from the command prompt?
Also, is Git only required for the tutorial or is it a prerequisite for all uses?

That requirements of command shell just for making sure the tutorial’s instructions works as expected.
e.g. the echo "theme = 'ananke'" >> config.toml command should be replaced by echo theme = 'ananke" >> config.toml on Windows CMD. Standard and extended Hugo doesn’t require this.

Git isn’t a prerequisite for all users, but you may need to download the theme and extract it to themes folder manually, it’s recommended to install it to install and update theme easily.
I found that requirement for Powershell strange and confusing because, first, there is a step to install Git, but then another to run commands with Powershell. My advice is to just stick with Git for everything.
