[QUESTION] Issues with running scripts on Windows 7

[thisiskylierose]

What / Why

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask for help but I have exhausted a few options (such as reinstalling node.js twice and adding/reverting npm config properties.

The basic issue is that scripts such as postinstall, start and build have stopped working. I'm not sure why this occurred but it is (obviously) blocking my work.

Where

I can't provide an example of the project configuration or dependencies. But we use the recharts and react-scripts packages and this is where the issue occurs when installing.

I am using node v10.16.1 and npm v6.13.4
The OS is Windows 7

An excerpt from the log is below:

It looks like core-js's postinstall script is failing; you should file a new issue (zloirock/core-js#729 is similar but was closed)
