The Vim help tells you exactly what goes on "under the hood".

:help 'grepprg' says:

'grepprg' 'gp' string (default "grep -n ",
Unix: "grep -n $* /dev/null",
Win32: "findstr /n" or "grep -n",
VMS: "SEARCH/NUMBERS ")

Note that nowhere is 'grep -nH $*' listed. You must be setting it
yourself in your configuration somewhere. Use :verbose set grepprg? to
find out where.

Note this also, from the same help location:
For Win32, the default is "findstr /n" if "findstr.exe" can be found,
otherwise it's "grep -n".
