Answer 1

First of all, It's good idea check global installation.

npm ls -g --depth=0

C:\test>npm ls -g --depth=0
C:\Program Files\nodejs -> .\
+-- corepack@0.10.0
`-- npm@8.1.0

And install it.
npm install -g @angular/cli@14
or if you need more info, with options npm install -g @angular/cli@14 --loglevel verbose

C:\test>npm install -g @angular/cli@14
npm WARN deprecated @npmcli/move-file@2.0.1: This functionality has been moved to @npmcli/fs
npm WARN deprecated sourcemap-codec@1.4.8: Please use @jridgewell/sourcemap-codec instead

Check again.

C:\test>npm ls -g --depth=0
C:\Program Files\nodejs -> .\
+-- @angular/cli@14.2.10
+-- corepack@0.10.0
`-- npm@8.1.0

It looks fine there is no problems but I know sometimes node not work for us correctly.

Plese make sure that node_modules checked based on current directories first.
The angular-cli installed globally and the angular-cli installed in the current directory can be different.

let's try this(if you have enough time).

C:\test>ng v

If you have the above issue, I recommend uninstalling the angular CLI and installing it again. Clear the cache MUST.

Follow these steps:

npm uninstall -g @angular/cli

npm cache verify

npm install -g @angular/cli@14

ng version
