Answer 1

Maybe you have installed create-react-app globally.

https://create-react-app.dev/docs/getting-started/

If you've previously installed create-react-app globally via npm install -g create-react-app, we recommend you uninstall the package using npm uninstall -g create-react-app to ensure that npx always uses the latest version.

Answer 2

It looks like my NPM Cache or the whole NPM is corrupted. I have to uninstall and delete manually the cache inside

Users/User/AppData/Roaming

to make sure no package is installed globally. After that I reinstall Node JS and everything works exactly as expected.
