    Run command below:

    npm i postcss -D

    And it fixed for me.

    You can try to delete package-lock.json file first and, open a terminal window then execute the below commands one by one.

    npm i --save autoprefixer@^10.0.2
    npm i --save postcss@8.1.7 
    npm i --save postcss-loader@4.0.4

    Downgrade your autoprefixer to version 9, use

    "autoprefixer": "^9.0.0"

    in your dev dependencies of package.json.

    Change your package.json config as below:

     "dependencies": {
        "autoprefixer": "^10.0.2",
        "postcss": "^8.1.7",
        "postcss-loader": "^4.0.4"
    }

    And try to delete node_modules folder and run npm install
