npm install  -g typescript@3.9.4

remove from directory AppData\Roaming pm but this doesnt work. remove node_modules too

tsconfig

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "target": "es5",
        "removeComments": true,
        "outFile": "app.js",
        "lib": ["es2017", "dom"]
    },
    "files":[
        "app.ts",

Sometimes you may need to link the package manually, as it may conflict if there's an existing node_modules already.

Try this:

npm link typescript

An alternative solution would be to delete the node_modules folder and then run npm install again.
