I got this error everytime I tried to open my app in Expo Go. I did clean all the Expo Go app data in my cell phone and my app run again.

1- First you need to edit system environment variable and locate where you have Windows Poweshell so add new in "system environment variable path"

Add Window Powershell path in system environment variable path

2- Then Open Window PoweShell as An Administraror And Write these Two Commands :

:) Upgrade Window PowerShell because your nodejs and npm is updated but powershell is not updated so its making conflict with your npm start or expo start,so you should need to upgrade windows powershell

Upgrade Window PowerShell because your nodejs and npm is updated but powershell is not updated so its making conflict with your npm start or expo start,so you should need to upgrade windows powershell.

And Then run Cmd and also run your poject npm start or expo start so quickly it will work!
