How to fix npm npm ERR! network request to https://registry.npmjs.org/create-vite failed, reason: connect ETIMEDOUT 2606:4700::6810:123:443?

I'm starting to learn React js and I'm trying to create my first app. When typing the command npm create vite@latest or npm create vite@latest my-app, or npm create-react-app my-app I get the same or similar error.

npm ERR! code ETIMEDOUT
npm ERR! syscall connect
npm ERR! errno ETIMEDOUT
npm ERR! network request to https://registry.npmjs.org/create-vite failed, reason: connect ETIMEDOUT 2606:4700::6810:123:443
npm ERR! network This is a problem related to network connectivity.
npm ERR! network In most cases you are behind a proxy or have bad network settings.

npm ERR! network 'proxy' config is set properly.  See: 'npm help config'

I didn't know how a proxy works so I did some research and found these commands:

npm config get proxy

• null

npm config get https-proxy

• undefined

I tried to fix the problem with npm delete cache, also with npm config delete proxy, netsh winsock reset, netsh int ip reset, ipconfig /release, ipconfig /renew, and ipconfig /flushdns, but still not working.

I found a solution:

npm install -g npm@latest

It worked for me.
