Describe the bug

Any project generated with CRA is missing modules and/or required files from a variety of dependencies

Did you try recovering your dependencies?

Yes, the issue persists for any new project generated with CRA.

Which terms did you search for in User Guide?

I searched for 'missing modules' in the user guide, but honestly didn't expect to find anything since this issue only began in the past couple days.

If I'm doing something incorrectly that's causing this issue, I'd be glad if someone could enlighten me. Otherwise, it seems like the CRA team really needs to address this issue because it continues to be a problem.

[james-fourth]

I found this issue was the result of using yarn to start the development server. After removing yarn and then creating a new project, the instructions say to use npm start. Thankfully, this works successfully. Still need to investigate what about using yarn contributes to this problem.
