I'm having the same issue with an older version of node (v8.11.4) and npm (v5.6.0) also with windows and running from root/Admin.

Faced the same issue after updating Angular CLI and the core version globally. I fixed it by, updating nodejs version and npm version and deleting node-module folder as well as launching the npm install in admin cmd mode.
