For some reason, the npm\node_modules\agentkeepalive\lib\https_agent.js file used by Node's bundled npm has been corrupted. (Your hard drive may be going bad – might want to keep an eye on it, or it may be something else.)

The easiest way to fix it, since you can't run npm to fix npm, should be to just reinstall Node.js (or if there's a Repair option for it in Windows' Settings, you could try that).
