Running from a Windows Powershell as Administrator, I have tried all of the below. Nothing works. Not only that, it takes like 20 minutes to get to the error.
- Upgrading node
- Upgradeing npm
- Turning off AntiVirus
- Cleaning the mpm cache
- Verifying the npm cache
Here is the output from trying to create a project:
