Meteor stopped working

I was working on a meteor project (version 1.2, React installed) when suddenly a spew of errors appeared in the command prompt. I could no longer start the server. Entering 'meteor' and nothing happened. I then uninstalled meteor completely and reinstalled (now version 1.3). The problem persisted. The only command I could get to work was 'meteor --help'. Even doing a new create (meteor create newapp) did nothing. The command line carriage returned and did nothing. I'm running under windows 10.

I had this issue too. It's a problem from the 1.3 release on Windows. In the github issues you can find the solution they found to solve this temporarily; what you have to do is this:

Delete the following folders from C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData\Local.meteor\packages

  • templating, templating-tools, ecmascript, standard-minifier-css. But some people mention having to delete extra folders too <-- emphasis on this

Then open the console as administrator and run meteor in the folder where your app is, so it starts downloading the missing packages you deleted.

This would be enough for it to work.
