npm (6.3.0) hangs once starting running npm command (Windows 7 64)

[borasik]

I'm opening this issue because:

• npm hangs forever once hit enter on any npm command

How can the CLI team reproduce the problem?

1. Just installed nodejs
2. Run npm install (or just npm)
3. Command line hangs forever until stop operation with Ctrl + C

• I Can't find any npm-debug.log file

supporting information:

• npm -v prints:
• node -v prints:
• npm config get registry prints:
• Can't run any of above operation, once I hit ENTER, npm hangs and nothing happen.
  • Windows 7
• I'm trying to solve this problem for month or so.
• I'm blocked from working on my projects.
• I had re-installed npm dozens times, chech System Variables etc.

Thanks a lot!!

In my case, I had executed the command "npm config list" to change the prefix. When I did that, it created a new file called .npmrc at %USERPROFILE%, once I reinstalled Node.js and removed the .npmrc file, everything got back to work again.

I just removed the .npmrc at %USERPROFILE% and everything is working fine! I waited 4 month to solve this problem!

Thanks a lot for you reply finally I can use NPM :-)
