I have noticed this

C:\c\Program Files\

I think that the path is being overrided, I have set the paths in my environment variables

NodeJs works good when I donode -V I get the version and when I do npm -V it crashes how can I solve this

PS: I am using Windows 10 Pro

If you have reinstall the Node.Js and previously you have set the node path in environment variable then you should remove it then it will work

In Program Files\nodejs\npm, node.exe is executed and not a node script, because of this, git-bash converts npm-cli.js's path to a Windows path.

npm Version: 3.10.10
Platform: MINGW64_NT-6.1 2.5.0(0.295/5/3) 2016-03-31 18:47 x86_64 Msys

When I run npm (/c/Program Files/nodejs/npm) in a git bash (which uses MINGW) the npm script throws: Error: Cannot find module 'C:\c\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\bin\npm-cli.js'

The problem is that the npm shell script executes a window node.exe but supplies it with a unix path for the npm-cli.js.

As I see it the fix is to also convert the path with cygpath for MINGW as well in /c/Program Files/nodejs/npm line 6-8:

case `uname` in
    *CYGWIN*) basedir=`cygpath -w "$basedir"`;;
    *MINGW*) basedir=`cygpath -w "$basedir"`;;
esac

Read NPM issue #18499 on GitHub for more information.

I have found a solution, it's due to this variable located in environment variables:

MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1

I don't know why this conflict is happening, in any case If i find it I will update my answer
