NodeJS not recognized under Windows 10 - node.js

I am using the LTS version of NodeJS. The problem started with version node-v16.18.0-x64 and did continue with node-v18.12.0-x64.
What I am doing:
Developing Playwright test. I ran the test and NodeJS was working. After one minute, I rerun the test and NodeJS is no longer recognized in my OS.
The issue appears when I am using Cypress, so I think the issue is not related to the technology that I am using.
I checked the environment variable: It is there.
The workaround I am doing is to uninstall the NodeJS from the control panel and install it again. There is an option to repair the NodeJS installation. But when I try to use it, I receive an error message that the NodeJS is not installed on this OS.

In the linked question, what does the op talk about regarding installing node.js in the working directory?

I am a complete newbie to all this.
I tried to install node.js 4 times and then again uninstalled it every time trying different things, thinking one of them would work.
The link to the question is-Cannot find runtime 'node' on PATH - Visual Studio Code and Node.js

Please tell me how to get node.js working with VSCode.
To get the version of Node, just type node --version in the terminal without the "$".

NodeJS does not work after uprading from version 8.11.1

I decided to upgrade my version of nodejs from 8.11.1 to 10.15.3. I am running on Windows 10 so I downloaded v10.15.3-x64.msi file. I created a brand new Angular application from "ng new" command and I got the "HTTP ERROR 400" page with no error in the console.
I have cleared the cache, reboot the system and nothing helps. When I will go back to node JS version 8.11.1 everything starts to work again. The newest version of nodejs v11.11.0-x86.msi also doesn't work for me.
How this can happen and how can I get any information what is going on?
EDIT: this is not a duplication of any existing topics about upgrading NodeJS, because the new version is seen by the system and all components - see the console result in the screenshot I provided. After upgrading the NodeJs all my solutions based on that technology stoped working showing HTTP Error 400 page. After degrading to v8 everything starts working again.
The problem came back when I had to install newer version of node (12.14.1), so this time it worked. Additionally I deleted folders that prompted from runnig where npm command after deleting an old version.

How do I set up a React project on Synology NAS

I'm trying to set up a create-react-app project on my 918+ Synology NAS. From the getgo it has Node.js 5.6.0, but since create-react-app requires >=6 I need to install and use a higher version. Within the Synology NAS the Package Manger has both Node.js 6 and 8. These install fine. Then I'm trying to change the current Node.js version, this is where the problems starts.
For the information, the Synology runs a custom distro of Linux called DSM, with kernel 4.4.59.
When trying to change to version using e.g. nvm use 6.12.3 I get:
Error: Could not open history file.
REPL session history will not be persisted.
Googling this gives me no results. Is there somewhere here that would happen to know what to do, or just could try help me get this set up? I'm not sure if it's even possible. The Synology has Docker, would that be a better option for me?

Nodejs - Another installation is in progress

System - Win 7 64 bit.
Nodejs - node-v6.9.4-x64.msi
Installation error - Another installation is in progress. You must complete that installation before continuing this one.
Solutions that did NOT work - Run as admin, Run via commandline as admin, log had same error i saw in installer, don't install online docs option,
Please help me to fix this. Thank you !
This will not be an issue with your NodeJs installation, it might be because of your previous installation (might be any other software) which might be still in progress or not exit properly.
To solve your issue, please try restarting your machine once and install. This will indirectly kill your previous unstable installation and allow you to install NodeJs
I had this issue with '2017-03-21, Version 6.10.1 'Boron' (LTS)'. Restarting my PC solved the issue.
P.S. However, this issue seems to be specific to the NodeJs installer. I tried installing other programs after the NodeJs installation threw up this error and they installed fine (even before the restart).

arangodb hello-foxxx sample application installation in OSX

I'm trying to run the 'hello-foxx' example on my Mac OSX 10.10.5 Yosemite but fail.
ArangoDB is installed and running (from the App store)
Foxx-Manager runs (typing foxx-manager returns the response as described in the manual)
The anrangodb web interface runs (but w/o the 'application' menu
When I execute:foxx-manager install hello-foxx /example
from my home directory I receive the following error:
'Cannot call method 'byExample' of null'
I also tried to run it directly from git:
foxx-manager install https://github.com/arangodb-foxx/demo-hello-foxx.git /example
returns the same error.
tried a local installation and received the same error.
Any ideas?
I can't find the log files. Where should I look?
Many thanks.
The app store version is three versions behind the current release. I recommend installing Arrangodb with Homebrew instead. I did this yesterday and had no problems with Foxx Demo on Yosemite.
