npx create-react-app errors: spawn ENOENT

[Eric-Johnston]

Describe the bug

Using npx create-react-app causes a "spawn enoent" error that points to my mongoDB folder. This only began after I installed mongoDB.

Did you try recovering your dependencies?

Not relevant, I can't even start a project.

Which terms did you search for in User Guide?

spawn, ENOENT, mongodb

Environment

Using Windows 10, node version 10.16.0.

$ npx create-react-app client
spawn C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\bin ENOENT

Seems I receive the same error using this command as well.

Steps to reproduce

(Write your steps here:)

1. Install mongoDB
2. run command 'npx create-react-app client'
3. receive this error:
   $ npx create-react-app client
spawn C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\bin ENOENT

Expected behavior

I should be able to create a react app without issue.

Actual behavior

I'm receiving this error:

$ npx create-react-app --info
spawn C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\bin ENOENT

Reproducible demo

I have no idea how to reproduce this on another machine. I was able to install mongoDB on a separate computer and I don't have this issue. I assume the vast majority of people are able to install mongoDB on their machine without experiencing this issue.

I have no idea why create-react-app would be trying to call C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\bin, so something is really messed up somewhere. Maybe npm cache clean --force?
