Created an app via npx create-react-app my-app --template typescript and npm start throws an error. What to do?

Question

typescript

invalid options object. React Refresh Plugin has been initialized using an options object that does not match the API schema.
- options.overlay.module: The provided value "F:\\!gg\\my-app\\node_modules\\react-dev-utils\\refreshOverlayInterop.js" contains exclamation mark (!) which is not allowed because it's
reserved for loader syntax.

npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

Answer 1

I googled your mistake, it seems that the problem is in your !gg folder, but in ! sign. Try to create a template in a new folder.
