Error when calling npm start or yarn start

See original GitHub issue

Hello, I have been trying to create and work on an app and I have done an npm install -g create-react-app, and then executed create-react-app testName, and it finished successfully. But when I cd in to the project and run npm start or yarn start it fails with the following errors:

I’m having trouble interpreting the error logs, so if anyone has an idea I would appreciate it!

yarn start:

yarn start v0.24.6
$ react-scripts start
error Command failed with exit code 3221225477.

*note: I use nvm and have tried with multiple versions, and nothing has helped. I’ve also uninstalled node and reinstalled, cleared cache, but it doesn’t seem to work.

  1. node -v: 6.11.0
  2. npm -v: 4.6.1
  3. yarn --version: 0.24.6
  4. npm ls react-scripts: react-scripts@1.0.7

Then, specify:

  1. Operating system: windows 10

Steps to Reproduce

  1. npm install -g create-react-app
  2. create-react-app test
  3. cd test
  4. npm start or yarn start

Expected Behavior

Expected it to host the app at localhost:3000

Actual Behavior

npm start snip yarn-start
