[5.x] Electron forge not starting on default application.

[adenine-dev]

• [x] I have read the contribution documentation for this project.
• [x] I agree to follow the code of conduct that this project follows, as appropriate.
• [x] I have searched the issue tracker for an issue that matches the one I want to file, without success.

Please describe your issue: Win10 64, electron forge 5.2.4. When running npm start, electron-forge start, or yarn start on a newly created electron forge application the script appears to run however does not do anything. When attempting to edit the application logging confirms the script is running however nothing actually happens.

*Console output when you run electron-forge with the environment variable `DEBUG=electron-forge:`. (Instructions on how to do so here). Please include the stack trace if one exists.**
