Answer 1

If you have an & in your project's path you will run into this issue, at least on Windows it seems like. The part in the path after the & is interpreted as another command as per the error and everything breaks from there.

Confirming that as soon as it's removed, npm start works fine.

Answer 2

It's happening most likely because of an & in your folder name which is getting used as the path of your project. So Check the whole path trail of your project and rename any folder with "&" to only text-based names.

The Run - npm start from the console. Hope it will solve your problem. Enjoy coding and changing the world.
