I'm using the latest beta version of Node, so I'll try to go back to the latest stable version. If that doesn't work, I'll try to re-download node away from nodist..

If you have any other thoughts or suggestions Perhaps there is a hint in the debug log, then I'd be glad to hear them.

According to the discussion under github https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/discussions/10173#discussioncomment-142156

you need to

npm rm -g create-react-app
npm install create-react-app
npx create-react-app my-app

After deleting the Nodist version manager. I installed nvm and I'm now able to get npx to work without a problem. I think the issue for me was that I was using the nodist version manager.

Highly recommend checking out nvm here if you get similar issues. https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows/wiki
