Create React App : Range error - Maximum call stack size exceeded

Question

I get this error when trying to create a new react app. Tried updating create-react-app using npm and reinstalling React.

C:\Users\Panduka\Documents\tests>create-react-app markdown
path.js:33
function normalizeStringWin32(path, allowAboveRoot) {
                             ^

I faced a similar issue today and fixed with running: $ npm logout

Error Log:

Fixed this issue by using Windows Subsystem Linux. BTW, my Windows Defender is controlled by my organization policies.

You can use a drive NOT protected by Controlled Folder Access.
