This is not an issue with spark. It is a Windows/PHP issue. See this SO post for examples of others having issues.

I have experienced the same problem and it's still not resolved.
Whenever i run php spark serve it returns this error : 'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command' Any help ?

That screenshot was very helpful! This appears to be an issue with the call to PHP itself. I think we need to quote our passthru call to the PHP binary here:

		passthru($php . ' -S ' . $host . ':' . $port . ' -t ' . $docroot . ' ' . $rewrite, $status);

Reopening.
