     You need to re-install the latest version of node and try the latest version of React.

    npm install -g npm-windows-upgrade
    npm-windows-upgrade

    And then

    npm install -g create-react-app
    create-react-app my-app

    I hope it useful for you!

    I solved the problem by adding C:\Users\ugur\AppData\Roaming\npm to the windows PATH variable.

    Pls check correct path to npm folder.
