Error in Powershell

On Windows, in VS Code, using Powershell host, I get the following error:

@aersamkull

1. Apart from the error in the console, does the application work correctly?
2. If you start npm-gui in folder that contains package.json - this error also appear?

[aersam]

I get the error only if start in the folder by using powershell. cmd works
