In your config find webpack.config.dev.js and remove the following:

const WatchMissingNodeModulesPlugin = require('react-dev-utils/WatchMissingNodeModulesPlugin');
 
module.exports = {
    // ...
    plugins: [
        // If you require a missing module and then `npm install` it, you still have
        // to restart the development server for Webpack to discover it. This plugin
        // makes the discovery automatic so you don't have to restart.
        // See https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/issues/186
        new WatchMissingNodeModulesPlugin(paths.appNodeModules),
    ]
}
