had this same problem, but when I tried to run the windows-build-tools, it just gost stucked. Tried a few times and instead of trying to do the installation via Chocolatey, I just ignored it (since it showed me that python 2.7 was installed anyway). And it finally worked! Thank you!

Also, if you get a warning about scripts after checking for truffle version, follow the link in the message about Execution Polices and run:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process

then try truffle version and it should work!
