have a look at

:help $NoDefaultCurrentDirectoryInExePath

I don't know if there is a way to disable this behavior in Vim. You might
need to

set NoDefaultCurrentDirectoryInExePath=

or

set PATH=.;%PATH%

in your cmd or get into the habit of explicitly prepending ".\" to the
names of executables from the current directory when you want to run them,
e.g.,

.\my-program-from-here.exe param1 param2
