          @airart i don’t understand, I installed on windows 10 without trouble… but it was npm v6.

          I just installed and used npm 7.14…

          I had to use the full path to electron

          here is my package.json start line

          "start": "/Users/sdetw/MagicMirror/node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js",
          

          this is due to a change in npm… my prior instance will not start now without the full path

            this is because npm 7.14 is trying to launch from the MagicMirror folder instead of the module folder…

                @airart yes,

                npm install -g npm@6.14.0

                after this completes

                cd MagicMirror
                rd /s/q node_modules
                npm install

                      @sdetweil it works ! I am so moved, evidently that was the problem.
                      Does CMD remain active how do I leave the MM? fn + f11 reduces to window
                      I also noticed some warnings
