Is this a bug report?

Yes

Can you also reproduce the problem with npm 4.x?

Environment

1. node -v: 8.9.1
2. npm -v: 4.6.1
3. yarn --version (if you use Yarn):
4. npm ls react-scripts (if you haven’t ejected):

Then, specify:

1. Operating system: windows 10
2. Browser and version (if relevant):

Steps to Reproduce

(Write your steps here:)

1. npm install -g create-react-app
2. create-react-app react-app

Expected Behavior
