node/npm/yarn error on installing vulnerable packages - node.js

Question

I've been facing issues when installing packages with npm on Windows 10, I tried yarn too, but no luck
Very Important: I have noticed that only packages with 0 vulnerabilities are actually installable, others simply fail:
for example npx create-next-app:
npx create-next-app next

operable program or batch file.

when trying yarn create next-app however:
success Installed "create-next-app#12.3.1" with binaries:
- create-next-app
error Couldn't find the binary C:\Users\my\AppData\Local\Yarn\bin\create-next-app

I went to Local\Yarn\bin and create-next-app was there! so I manually ran it with cmd, this time:
√ What is your project named? ... my-app

As you can see error -4058 pops up again
what I have tried:
uninstall and install node and npm (complete uninstall)
adding node, npm and yarn to PATH
run as admin
installing 32bit version of node
installing different versions of node
trying nvm and nvs
