I'm assuming you've closed the console that you installed from at some point and opened a new one and it's still not working? (sometimes the console needs to be restarted for new path variables to be available to it, although I've not had that problem installing angular). - JDunken

Try to run the following commands:

  1. npm install -g npm@latest
  2. npm config set script-shell bash

After that, run the ng new command again.

Just want to rule out the possibility of Path corruption. Please try the following:

rem for future
setx NODE_PATH %AppData%\npm\node_modules
rem for current session
set NODE_PATH=%AppData%\npm\node_modules
setx path "%path%;%AppData%\npm"
ng -v

Not sure if you are actually creating a project called test.

At least until 8.0 it was impossible to create a project with the name test. You'd get some warning about an invalid project name. Try to create another project with another name. cli-test for example.

If nothing works then have a fresh setup. unintsall node and all then install everything you need. make sure abouth PATH
