Solution 1:[1]
You should be able to fix the error by removing any spaces and special characters from your project's path and I think after this you have to use npm install again before building the project. This solution worked for me.
Solution 2:[2]
The solution for me was to open VS 2019 using the sln inside the /windows folder and rebuild the the project. After that the command "npx react-native run-windows" worked as expected
