I like to start using Node.js, so I made a plain vanilla installation on my Windows 10 computer. When I try to install additional packages (e.g. npm install luxon) or npm update then it removes all packages. It's basically a self-destruction, I have to re-install again to make it working:

C:\Programs\nodejs>npm update

removed 221 packages, and audited 1 package in 824ms

found 0 vulnerabilities


C:\Programs\nodejs>npm ls
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:936
  throw err;
  ^

Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Programs\nodejs\node_modules\npm\bin\npm-cli.js'

I tried version 16.13.0 and 17.0.1, both .msi file and .zip - all the same. Is there anything I missed.
