Latest Angular cli fails to create new app on Windows

On my windows 10 machine, I was trying to create the latest angular app using ng new myapp (cli version 9.0.1) with Angular v9. (Node version v12.15.0)

I have already tried the following from related questions on stackoverflow:

  1. uninstall angular cli (npm uninstall -g @angular/cli)
  2. npm cache clean and npm cache verify
  3. reinstall Node JS
  4. install angular again npm install -g @angular/cli
  5. Tried running cmd in Admin mode

I get the following error:

...
CREATE myapp2/e2e/src/app.po.ts (301 bytes)
- Installing packages...npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: request has been deprecated, see https://github.com/request/request/issues/3142

× Package install failed, see above.
The Schematic workflow failed. See above.

From the Log File:

Surprisingly it works on my Friend's Mac Book. I tried multiple times to re-install node and angular cli on windows but it still gives me this error.

Can someone please help me with this and make it work on Windows 10?

Note: I know there are other questions related to this but those were posted are outdated and with a different version of Angular. Although I tried their solutions as well, but I had no luck.

Please check your node version as Angular 9 using the LTS node version which is 12 for now as per https://angular.io/guide/setup-local#nodejs, and please if you faced a problem related to the module (error-ex) as 404 response during installing angular using npm install -g @angular/cli, then try this command in your terminal npm config set registry https://skimdb.npmjs.com/registry, and then try npm install -g @angular/cli again

as a temporary fix you can manually install "error-ex" module directly from GitHub then install your dependencies as mentioned here facebook/create-react-app#8465 (comment)

$ npm i https://github.com/Qix-/node-error-ex

$ npm i
