Hey @mandarini 😃 Thank you very much for your effort to reproduce my issue. Sorry that you can not reproduce it (or in the end it is good because nothing needs to be fixed 😛).

Your tip with reinstalling node did the job! I just re-installed node according to the guide provided in the link and it worked! Now I’m again able to create nx-workspaces.

I re-installed node before as well, but I guess somehow I missed there a part to completely remove it and therefore it didn`t work.

Yey!! I’m so happy it worked and you can use Nx normally now!! 😄
