hi,
i had the same issue
these are the steps i took to fix it:

• update node to latest version (14 at the moment)
• uninstall yarn globally (npm uninstall -g yarn)
• clean cache and verify ( npm cache clean --force && npm cache verify )
• restart my machine (win 10 pro - shutdown /r /f /t 0)

best of luck

I remove yarn what was installed to window(not by npm). Install lates version and all works fine.
but have another problem with console :)

Broken for me too, maybe Yarn was not such a good idea after all? Maybe allow us to choose which package manager to use? On Mac you have to use Home Brew to install it and if the Symlinks fail because you already had an older version you end up in this particular scenario, I don't remember having issues like this with NPM.

I guess I won't be able to use NX...
