React error: events.js:177 .throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event after fresh create react app

Question

I just installed a react app and I'm just trying to run it, npm start gives me an error (I have not changed any code).

Here's what i've already tried before reaching this dead end: -Deleting and reinstalling node modules -installing/updating npm -clearing npm cache -installing through powershell admin and git bash -killing port 3000 -installing with npx -installing globally -rebooted system -tried this links:npm start error with create-react-app

    events.js:177
    throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
     ^

Have you tried off and on your PC? (not kidding, this really works sometimes for some obscure errors) — dance2die

I came across the same issue and found that it is only present with [email protected], downgrading to [email protected] resolved the issue.

  create-react-app my-app
  cd my-app
  npm install [email protected]
  npm start
