npx create-react-app doesn't seem to work

Question

I am trying to create a React app boiler plate by running the following command

npx create-react-app my-app

I get the following errors

npm ERR! code ENOENT
npm ERR! syscall lstat
npm ERR! path C:\Users\dejean\AppData\Roaming\npm
npm ERR! errno -4058
npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat 'C:\Users\dejean\AppData\Roaming\npm'   
npm ERR! enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.

npm ERR!     C:\Users\dejean\AppData\Local\npm-cache\_logs\2023-06-27T18_53_22_682Z-debug-0.log

I use node 18.16.1 and npm 9.5.1
