"npm start" doesn´t recompile automatically and doesn´t show code changes

Question

I am developing an Angular project and everything worked fine until today. I did no changes. But now, don´t know why. the "npm start" command stopped working fine. The project gets succesfully compiled but once I make some change, the compilation doesn´t reload automatically and any change on my code isn´t shown.

I tried to add the --watch flag on the package.json file like suggested on some sites, but doesn't work.

This is the relevant code on my .json file

 "scripts": {
    "ng": "ng",
    "start": "ng serve --open --host 0.0.0.0 --baseHref=/",

}

I can't use ng serve because it would fire an error due to the missing baseHref. It is a requirement to make it work this way, with this command, so has been told to me.

Environment I am working with:

Angular CLI: 7.3.6
Node: 10.15.1
OS: win32 x64
Angular: 7.2.11
... animations, common, compiler, compiler-cli, core, forms
