All right, look carefully at this:
{
errno: 'ENOENT',
code: 'ENOENT',
syscall: 'spawn cmd',
path: 'cmd',
spawnargs: [ '/s', '/c', 'start', '""', '/b', '"http://localhost:3000/"' ]
}
errno: 'ENOENT'
means the file or directory is not foundpath: 'cmd'
denotes the executablecmd
was not found locally or globally while spawning processcmd
via Node.js- Now, I don't want to go into details. Just know that your operating system needs to keep track of some variables which can be accessed globally. One of such variable is called
$PATH
. The executables inside directories mentioned in the$PATH
can be accessed from anywhere on your system. - Here,
'C:\Windows\system32'
is a path where windows keeps some critical executables.cmd.exe
is one of them. Somehow the path was deleted from the $PATH variable. In order to fix the problem, an easy solution is:- Go to
start-menu
->search
and typeenvironment variables
and open it - There will be a variable named PATH. Append
C:\Windows\system32
to it and press OK. If you're on Windows 7 or below, add a semi-colon;
before it - Restart your terminal or IDE or code editor and try running the app. See if the error comes again

PROBLEM
It seems to install babel changed many nodes, yet it did NOT update the yarn.lock
and package.json
files accordingly
SOLUTION
yarn info
Then run
yarn upgrade
Then
yarn add yarn
I faced this issue and tried almost all solution in the net, for 5 hours, I was struggling but at last I ran into this solution it it solved thi issue.
simply try this: $ npm install --save --save-exact react-scripts@5.0.1
this should work.

I followed the above guidelines and the only following worked for me
yarn info
which actually failed
then I run
=> yarn upgrade
which took 5 minutes or more to complete
then finally I run
=> yarn add yarn
after this, I was able to start my server successfully by running my own script yar

It was the exact same error @Mohammadreza Mahjoob asked up, later I realized it happens quiet commonly – Muhammad Abdullah Nabeel Feb 12 '23 at 16:39
Here's what worked for me:
- Check if your user has administration privileges
- If not, then log in the PC's admin account
- Press "Win + R" then
- Type "control userpasswords2" and press enter
- In the Users tab select your user and click "Properties"
- Then, mark the Administrator option and click OK
- Finally, log off and try again.
