npx Error on mkdir when running on Windows10

[Toordokter]

When I try to run npx create-react-app, it always fails on this line:
Error: C:\new-app\node_modules\core-js: EINVAL: invalid argument, mkdir 'C:\Users\andre\AppData\Local\Temp;;C:\WINDOWS\system32\yarn--1573267623945-0.6642629310289891'

I am running cmd as administrator. Any ideas on how to resolve?
yarn-error.log

'C:\Users\andre\AppData\Local\Temp;;C:\WINDOWS\system32\yarn--1573267623945-0.6642629310289891'

That is not a valid path on Windows (it contains a colon which is not a valid file name character), it looks like it is a concatenation of two paths.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\yarn. This looks weird. Yarn should not touch that directory.

I managed to resolve it - but honestly I can't remember how. I played around with npm and npx for different phases and finally it started working.

@milindbajaj - is this still an issue? if that is not the case hopefully zkat/npx#146 it may help you to resolve the issue.
