Describe the problem

When clicking on Start, the npm install window appears, but nothing happens afterwards, and it's stuck there. I tried reinstalling, turing off antivirus, everything. I know someone raised a similar issue which ended up being antivirus related, but it doesn't seem the case this time.

Quickest close in my life. For anyone else at the end of their rope, try turning off antivirus, deleting 'node_modules' AND then run updateforkandstart. For some reason, this combo worked.
