I know am a bit late but this worked for me.

Issue these commands to help you remove/delete your project modules and then update them

$rm -rf node_modules/
$npm update

Unfortunately this hasn't fixed my issue – Tiffanytiffi

You cannot just update the dependencies version in an organisation. It is better to ask for the correct npm and node version your peers are using to work on the same project. Then remove the node_modules and package-lock.json and run npm install. – Cheiron

Tried repeatedly. Did not solve the problem. – Recondite

Answer 2

You only need to update your node and npm packages in the latest version.

$nvm install --lts    // For install Node latest version 
$npm update          // For update all NPM packages in latest version

$nvm alias default **versionName** // For steup node default version of your PC or server```

This probably won't fix the issue - the error has something to do with a .dll not being found, a npm update might fix it if it recompiles that certain library. Please note you need nvm to update node with nvm. Also, this question is about 2,5 years old, I'm unsure if this issue is still at play. Lastly: welcome to stack :) – Inhesion

This is an npm package issue. These types of errors occurring when an npm package does not work according to the node version. The batter way to solve this, update the node and npm package to the latest version. This will definitely work for everyone. Yes, my answer is too late but it will help other developers who are still facing the same issue. – Jugal

Hey Guys, I am seeing this issue. I have tried all the steps above: internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1025 return process.dlopen(module, path.toNamespacedPath(filename)); ^ Error: Module did not self-register. at Object.Module._extensions..node (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1025:18) – Liliuokalani

2. Remove the node modules directory

3. Remove package-lock.json file;
