Any ideas?

Answer 1

May be npm installed in 2 locations globally!

1. Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm
2. AppData\Roaming\npm

Firstly, remove all npm completely including folders, find npm config file and remove it and remove node.js program. Secondly, make sure you have installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable for your operating system type(32 or 64 bit). Lastly install latest version of node.js. Hope your problem will be fixed.
