How can I update npm on Windows?

Answer 1

I was also facing similar issues. I followed below mentioned steps and it worked for me:

• go to Windows > Start > Node.js

  • right click on Node.js command prompt
  • click on Run as administrator

• ping registry.npmjs.org

• npm view npm version

• cd %ProgramFiles%\nodejs

• npm install npm@latest

and npm updated successfully. Earlier I was trying for CMD and that was throwing error. may be some path issue that got resolved by running NodeJs Command Prompt. hope it'll work for you. try this.
