I can not create a React project

Question

I started learning React.js and when I type in the command line npx create-react-app {name of project} it starts downloading the dependencies but at the end I get an error with yargs-parser being a low level vulnerability, I've tried updating the package, deleting the project and creating one again, reinstalling node.js and still doesn't work, besides I've seen in all tutorials that in the initial setup after creating a react project I should have more folders than those that I have, cause I only have the folder: node_modules and the files: package.json, package-lock.json, no public folder and from src I have only the .json files I mentioned earlier, I would appreciate if somebody could help with this problem :/ .

npx create-react-app {project name}outputs:

found 1 low severity vulnerability run "npm audit fix" to fix them, or ""npm audit for details

npm audit outputs:

Low Prototype Pollution

Package yargs-parser

Patched in >=13.1.2 <14.0.0 || >=15.0.1 <16.0.0 || >=18.1.2

Dependency of react-scripts

Path react-scripts > webpack-dev-server > yargs > yargs-parse

Have you tried it with different names for your project? There could be a conflict going on there. — Luke Storry, Jul 15 '20 at 16:29
`npx create-react-app` creates a new folder with the name you gave for the project, have you tried looking for that? — Luke Storry, Jul 15 '20 at 16:30
Yes, already tried with and without hyphen, upper case and lower case. — Pier Gaub, Jul 15 '20 at 16:33
I find the folder, the problem is that there are missing folders inside like `src` and `public` — Pier Gaub, Jul 15 '20 at 16:34
And maybe add a screenshot of the exact error output of the `npx create-react-app {name of project}` — Luke Storry, Jul 15 '20 at 16:36
I don't think that vulnerability warning should be severe enough to cause your issues. Try running it in a completely different folder, using a simpler project name, all lower case? — Luke Storry, Jul 15 '20 at 16:58

After trying reinstalling node, cleaning npm cache, deleting node folders on ProgramFiles, trying creating a project with yarn create react-app , the only thing that worked for me was to install nodejs for Windows x86.

OS: Windows 10 x64
