node.js - npm start hangs, does not sync changes (create-react-app on WSL)

Question

I am new to web dev and am trying to follow the React tutorial. I have followed it successfully in the past on my machine. I am using Ubuntu 20.04 in WSL.

When I run:

npx create-react-app helloworld cd helloworld npm start

I get:

[email protected] start /mnt/d/ProgrammingProjects/helloworld

react-scripts start

And it hangs there for about 5 minutes before the localhost opens. Once the localhost is open, it does not sync changes when I edit and save the App.js file.

I have tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling node and npm.
