I tried to solve it through Googling, but an error seems to occur, and the folder cannot be created.
try clearing npx-cache if you recently ran this on older version.
npx clear-npx-cache
npx install -g create-react-app react-app
So these are the steps I did to get it to work:
npm uninstall -g create-react-app
npx create-react-app@latest my-app-name
Also what one can do is enter the console as administrator, located in the user's folder, and put this command (in my case I used the NPM one)
npm uninstall -g create-react-app
we uninstall it and then I reinstall it
npm install -g create-react-app
and voila, it worked for me
