npm start error

Hi

Every time I create a new using the command npx create-react-app project-name and after this i just give the command npm start and get the following error every time
`events.js:174
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
^

Error: spawn cmd ENOENT

I found the solution in this https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/issues/6985 by downgrading the react-scripts and its a temporary solution for that particular project but every time it shows the same error when I create a new project. Is there any permanent solution for this

We're tracking this in #7251. The error is because cmd isn't in your system path. The short term solution is to put cmd in your path by adding C:\Windows\System32\ to it.
