I've tried reinstalling everything, created a blank react app, nothing changed, absolutely. I have to use node node_modules/react-scripts/scripts/start.js in order to start my local server and it works just fine, but this is not normal, I need a solution. Please help.

Try add this to your package.json file:

 "scripts": {
    "start": "react-scripts start",
    "build": "react-scripts build"

},
