I've been battling this issue all day and still cannot figure out what I am missing. I've always created my projects under the Documents directory on my computer but I've started getting the following error when trying to start a project after using create-react-app.

my-app@0.1.0 start C:\Users\{user}\Documents\B&R Fun\nginx_test_deploy\my-app

react-scripts start

'R' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:985
  throw err;
  ^

Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Users\{user}\Documents\react-scripts\bin\react-scripts.js'

npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

Interestingly, running the exact same commands on my desktop creates an app without errors. Is there some configuration I'm missing that could impact apps created under the 'Documents' folder?

You should try to clear and re-install node_modules. You can do this by running the following command.

rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json && npm install && npm start

Also, upgrade to a later version of node and npm.

Try to rename B&R Fun folder to avoid ampersand there. It seems that & breaks everything. See this issue
