I'm just trying to install the simple react app: npx create-react-app my-app But getting this error from yarn:

Installing react, react-dom, and react-scripts... yarn add v1.3.2 info No lockfile found. [1/4] Resolving packages...

the log has this error: Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, mkdir 'C:\Users...\AppData\Local\Yarn\cache\v1'

But if i go to the C:\Users...\AppData\Local\Yarn\cache\v1 directory there are tons of npm- directories created.

I had to use the --use-npm flag to pass this issue but this is a problem with yarn that needs to be fixed.
