This problem has created and still is creating a lot of headaches:

Basically the suggestion is correct, may be you have an old version of something around, first try to remove the global create-react-app

npm uninstall -g create-react-app

Then try to update the npm and all the packages.

npm install -g npm@latest

Then you can run to create react app again.

npx create-react-app my-app

This has solved the issue in my case
