My issue on windows 10 was for some reason my environment variables, specifically the path user variable, had gotten many variables duplicated, exceeing the max 4096 limit without telling me. I manually deleted a bunch of duplicates and then saving it worked without the max limit reached error. I then refreshed my environment variables, closed all terminals, and then create-next-app worked.
