Are you running this from an admin command prompt?

yes, i’m running this from an admin.

Hmm, alright, could you try

npm uninstall -g ionic
npm cache clean
npm install -g ionic

Hi, i think it is still not working because the npm registry for @ionic/app-generators is returning empty data

no, that does exist.

@ViniciusClarindo are you using any custom npm settings?
Like a custom registry at all?

Yes, my bad

i finally fixed it by removing chocolatey installed on my computer, and then reinstall node, and install nvm to change the node version and i think it should work
