I've tried every single thing in this but nothing worked for me

Answer 1

I was also getting this error, then I ran npm update and that seemed to clear up this error. But now I'm getting a new error about "no such file or directory, stat '/home//.steampath'"
Maybe that's just a separate issue with mine though, hopefully npm update works for you!
Edit: I was able to fix my "no such directory" error, it was caused by an issue with me trying to transfer a file from a different drive. I was able to resolve it. So unless you also have that same problem, npm update should fix it for you.

I had this issue, as well. I was able to get CRA to work by installing/using Node v16.13.1 via NVM. This is an issue with CRA depending on an old version of postcss-safe-parser referenced here.
First install NVM and then ...
nvm install 16
Make sure node 16 is being used by NVM and yarn start should work.
