How to fix errors and not get stuck while installing react?

Hello, I know you are having a tough time while installing react and you are just tired of trying all the possible ways to get rid of any of npm/missing script/missing directories(no public, src, no template)/config directory/complete log found somewhere/just stuck (xD) errors. Take a chill pill and trust the process. It's easy-peasy.

Note: I own a laptop having 64-bit windows operating system and I got all of these errors.

Snapshot of error:

getting stuck

Solution:

So far, you might have used either npm/npx ways to create the react app. Now, Open cmd in a new window along with the ongoing loading window and type "resmon". This directs you to Resource Monitor where you need to check "cmd.exe" files and resume those process if in suspended mode. To do so, right-click on "cmd.exe" and select "Resume Process".
You will see the processes continuing in the cmd window and the template loading along with public, src and all other required modules. "Happy hacking" denotes successful installation.
Now change the directory where the app is created using "cd" command and type "npm start" to start the development server. (If you won't get into that specific folder, you will get this error mentioned in the below image.)
Development server starts..

Get the URL and check if it's running. Kudos you did it.

Happy learning :)
Feel free to ask or comment in case of any errors.

How to remove "Ubuntu" completely from a dual boot PC (UEFI)?

Did you mess around with Ubuntu while dual booting? Do you too want to remove it completely now? Then take a sip. The post is for you.

So let's start. Run windows and open disk management. (You can search it or click on the option directly on "start" menu)

Once the disk management window opens, identify the Linux(Ubuntu) partitions and remove it. To do so, follow the process. Check the partitions which has no drive names and are larger than 1gb. (Hint: choose Healthy primary partitions) Once you have identified the partitions, right click >> Delete volume >> Yes.

If you have free space (unallocated memory), merge it with another partition to use it back again later. To do so, right click >> Extend volume >> Next >> Next >> Finish.

Ah, Kudos! You did it :))

Reboot the system.
You will still find ubuntu on the boot menu. This is because you have just deleted the Linux partitions whereas the grub boot loader is still present in your PC's efi partition. So the next step is to remove it.

For this, first launch command prompt as administrator. (Start>>CMD>> run as administrator). Now type "diskpart" to start the diskpart utility. Now type "list disk" to identify the efi partitions. Now type "select disk 0". Then type "list partition" and identify the efi "system" partition. Then type "select partition 2". In my case, the efi partition system had partition number 2 and it might vary in your case. Then type "assign letter=x" (I chosed x and it's random). Now you will see a 100 mb partition in windows explorer. That's your efi system partition. This is for our knowledge. We don't need to do anything here. Let's get back to our command prompt. Now type "exit" to close diskpart. Now type the letter which you have assigned in the CMD line and place a colon with it. I am typing " x:" and pressing enter key. Now type "dir" to see the contents of drive x. Now we have to change folder so type "cd efi" and type "dir" to see the contents of efi folder.

Now you will be seeing the list where a folder named of Linux that you have installed once (like Ubuntu, fedora, blah blah). That's the folder which we want to delete. Type "rd /s". I am typing "rd ubuntu /s". Type Y to conform deletion. Type "dir" to ensure the folder is deleted.

Yes, we did it.
Now we have successfully uninstalled Ubuntu completely from our PC. The efi system which we mounted will automatically get unmounted once you restart your PC. Don't worry.

Any queries, let me know :)
