I used to be able to use "create-react-app" without any problems, but then I installed MongoDB and added a PATH of it. Ever since every time I try to create a react app, I get an error.

I tried different solutions: - I cleaned the PATH - I tried a different Node version - I tried installing with "npm install [email protected]"

Nothing works. I don't know if the problem is MongoDB, or the change in the Path.

I use Windows 7.

C:\Users\user\react-apps\mern-todo>npm start

> [email protected] start C:\Users\user\react-apps\mern-todo
> react-scripts start

Do you guys have any idea why is this happening? I'm giving up...

Oh my God, can't believe it was so easy. Adding C:\Windows\System32\ to PATH solved the problem immediately, I must have deleted it when adding Mongo. Thanks!
