When I try to execute 'npx create-next-app', the installation never ends

I'm trying to create a new NextJS app, but the command npx create-next-app <name> never ends. It installs a few files along the way (including node_modules/), then after a while, among all the great lines that a CMD shows, it displays an installation line that never ends. When I try to cancel the installation, I must restart my PC completely.

Note: the last line is always beginning with "reify:something: timing ... Completed in Xms"

My problem

I've tried to reinstall NodeJS, It did not change a single thing. I've tried to delete the cache, nothing changed.

I have used npm in the past and it always worked fine, I have absolutely no idea why it doesn't work now.

Please help me, I don't know what to do, except to throw my PC out the window.

I'm on Windows 10, using npm 7.24.1 with node v14.17.6

Finally, I fixed my problem thanks to Marcel Herd: I installed WSL 2 and from now on I'll use Ubuntu on Windows to execute npm commands.

However, I have still no idea why I had to do such a thing...

Thank you
