100% CPU usage after npm install

Question

I have Node.js locally on my machine with npm. When I start npm install no matter what I've install I get 100% CPU and RAM usage.Only reboot helps.

Node ver. 8.11.1  

npm ver. 5.6.0

OS Win 7.

How can I find the problem? I used only npm and did not do any manipulations to packages or Node.js.

My package.json

PS I also have a MacOS, but there is no such a problem with the same project.

If you're using macOS, consider installing fsevents . See also this GitHub issue:
