First, run PowerShell as Administrator, click Start, search for PowerShell, right-click PowerShell and select Run as Administrator.

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope CurrentUser -Force
npm install -g npm-windows-upgrade
npm-windows-upgrade

You will be prompted to select a version of NPM to install. Use arrow keys to move up and down and choose the version you want to update to and press Enter.

If your upgrade is successful, you should see something like this.
