I'm using npm for a long time (using win 10) - didn't change any thing in firewall/permissions etc. and all of a sudden I get the following error while trying to install any package:

I've also tried to open CMD with admin privileges and run the npm from there - but i got the same error - 
I've done the following steps :
- Clean npm cache
- Check for folder permissions
- Reinstall Node
- Restart my machine
Here is the log file - only the last part which related to the error
