'"SSL decryption failed" error when running "npx create-react-app"

I was going to learn react but when I tried to create the app using the following command:

npx create-react-app news-app

It gave me the following error:

npm ERR! code ERR_SSL_DECRYPTION_FAILED_OR_BAD_RECORD_MAC
npm ERR! errno ERR_SSL_DECRYPTION_FAILED_OR_BAD_RECORD_MAC
npm ERR! Invalid response body while trying to fetch https://registry.npmjs.org/postcss:

I cannot understand the error, I even opened the log file but same with this, I can't understand...
