Answer 1

I've had this issue in 2 computers in my house using Windows 10 each. The problem began when i had to change few Environmental variables for projects that I've been working on Visual studio 2017 etc. After few months coming back to using node js and npm I had this issue again and non of the solutions above helped. I saw Sean's comment on Yar's solution and i mixed both solutions: 1) at the environmental variables window i had one extra variable that held this value: %APPDATA%\npm. I deleted it and the problem dissapeared!
