@Saheli95 , @emskaplann I did this and it worked for me-> Add the default variables in your machines PATH: C:\Windows\system32 C:\Windows C:\Windows\System32\Wbem

any other paths can be added to the end. Remember to have the npm paths as well: C:\Program Files\nodejs C:\Users{yourName}\AppData\Roaming\npm

Hope it helps!
