I`m using Windows 10 and I had the same issue. I realized that you need to:

1. Run Command Prompt with Administrator Privileges

4. Bonus: If you want to change the PORT use this command insted:

   set HTTPS=true&&set PORT=443&&react-scripts start

   Obs.: Pay attention to the blank spaces NOT left in between some characters.
