In the latest Windows, the firewall will block the node.exe to create package.json.

So turn off the firewall settings and try once. It worked for me.

If you are facing with this issue, first you should update npm using the below code:

npm -g install npm

then try to create the React file. It is working 100% for me.

This is an issue in node which is caused by white space in your windows username (possibly between the first-name and last-name in windows).

run the following command after replacing firstname with your windows user firstname in command prompt with administrator access

npm config set cache "C:\Users\Firstname~1\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache" --global

Please verify, whether your npm has installed create-react-app in **%AppData%Roaming\npm\node_modules**

if not then install it by using the command

npm install -g create-react-app

I got same issue because I was using an updated "package-lock.json" file from another system, and there was no "node_modules" folder on system where I got the problem.

You can try to following:

  1. Move "package-lock.json" to some other folder, outside current directory.
  2. npm install
