React script version 4.0.0 does not reloads the browser when new changes are made

[mwibutsa]

Describe the bug

I have been trying to create a new react app using npx and when I make changes to that new react app, the changes do not automatically get reflected in the browser. As far as I have seen, it works when use another version of react script like 3.4.4 but when I use the latest 4.0.0 it does not work. I have tried with both npm and yarn.

Did you try recovering your dependencies?

Yes, I did but the issue did not get resolved.

Which terms did you search for in the User Guide?

I made a search for react app did not reload after making changes in the codes.
