Gatsby develop not working after creating a project

Question

I created a Gatsby project and whenever I run gatsby develop or npm run develop I get the following error:

UNHANDLED REJECTION spawn node ENOENT

  Error: spawn node ENOENT

  - child_process:277 Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit
    node:internal/child_process:277:19

  - child_process:477 onErrorNT
    node:internal/child_process:477:16

  - task_queues:81 processTicksAndRejections
    node:internal/process/task_queues:81:21


npm ERR! code 1
npm ERR! path D:\Code\Gatsby test project\gatsby-test
npm ERR! command failed

Other scripts like gatsby build and gatsby clean work when I run them but that is not the case with npm run develop or npm start

Firstly, I tried to uninstall node_modules and delete package-lock.json and run npm install but I still got the error. I tried to uninstall gatsby-cli and create a project with npm init gatsby but the was no difference again. Finally, I uninstalled Nodejs completely and installed the latest version but I still get the Error: spawn node ENOENT everytime I try to start the development server.

I have experience with React but I am new to Gatsby. I recently had a problem with my Node where running npm start did nothing and returned me to the console. The issue was that my Nodejs folder was installed in D:\ and not in C:\ drive and also react-scripts version was old but a simple reinstallation fixed the problem.

I haven't changed anything in the project but here is the package.json file:

  "name": "gatsby-starter-hello-world",
  "private": true,
  "description": "A simplified bare-bones starter for Gatsby",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "license": "0BSD",
  "scripts": {
    "build": "gatsby build",
    "develop": "gatsby develop",
    "format": "prettier --write \"**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx,json,md}\"",
    "start": "npm run develop",
    "serve": "gatsby serve",
    "clean": "gatsby clean",
    "test": "echo \"Write tests! -> https://gatsby.dev/unit-testing\" && exit 1"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "gatsby": "^2.26.1",
    "react": "^16.12.0",
    "react-dom": "^16.12.0"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "prettier": "2.2.1"
  },
  "repository": {
    "type": "git",
    "url": "https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby-starter-hello-world"
  },
  "bugs": {
    "url": "https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/issues"
  }
}

I would be grateful if somebody points me where the issue might be. Thank you for your time!
