I have faced this issue and spent close to 3-4 hrs to resolve it.
I tried below steps
Moved to a new folder say sample
Step 1: npm install npm@latest -g
Step 2: npm version, found that it updated version to 7.7.4
Step 3: npx create-react-app client
Step 4: cd client
Step 5: npm start
It worked and its client is running on port 3000 i.e. localhost:3000
