I had the same problem and what I did was to use this command instead so that It don't copyfile from local cache

create-react-app your_app_name --use-npm --cache /tmp/empty-cache

Possible Solution :

1. Download latest recommended version of NodeJS
2. Uninstall current version from Control Panel
3. Go to C:\Users\{YourUsername}\AppData\Roaming folder and delete npm and npm-cache folders
4. Run installer of NodeJS
5. Update NPM to latest with npm i -g npm@latest command line

I changed the directory from C to another one and it worked. Maybe the issues were with installing packages in the root drive.

if you use avast! antivirus or another antivirus, you must disable before create-react-app

Do you have antivirus active on your pc? if so, try disabling it and retry the command npx create-react-app my-app

    There's already another answer suggesting to disable the antivirus, no need to add another one. Thanks. – Eric Aya Dec 21 '20 at 10:42
