This worked for me as well. I think this should be marked as the correct answer as it doesn't require forcing the latest version. – Kaczmarek

This worked for me too. This issue happened even after a fresh install of node js. This fix worked like a charm. <3 – Textualist

This is the correct answer I tried to find more details. Based on the response from James L here: #63510825 create-react-app is still in npx cache memory even though it is not installed globally so clearing the npx cache using the command above solves it. – Ingredient

this fixed my issue also, no idea why this is crashing. but thanks – Shuddering

Answer 3

npx clear-npx-cache worked for me.

Try npx clear-npx-cache to clear your npx cache and then running the npx create-react-app your-app.

Additionally, it might be worth trying to force the latest version with:

npx create-react-app@latest my-app --use-npm

Answer 4

It's solved. By using this code:

npx [email protected] my-app

If it does not work, use this and try again:

Delete everything from C:\Users\your_pc_name\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache

This could be a local caching issue. Try the command npm cache clean --force using administrator mode in your terminal and then try again with the same command - npx create-react-app my-app.
