TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "fd" argument must be of type number

Hi guys, I keep getting the following error and I'm running out of ideas. I'm hoping you have some ideas or hints for me

$ npm run start-w

> claudia-express@1.0.0 start-w Z:\bk\Zd\firstdaySetup\ZBackend
> set DEPLOYMENT=development&&babel-watch src/app

This same exact repo branch ect. works perfectly on another win10 computer. On the problem desktop, I have deleted the repo multiple times, cleared npm cache, verified npm cache, deleted node_modules many times, tried npm ci, reinstalled node to an identical version to the working system. Here's some info:

Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
Version 10.0.19042 Build 19042
Node: v12.4.0 <-- same results on node 14
"babel-watch": "^2.0.7",
"babel-cli": "^6.26.0",
"babel-core": "^6.26.3",
"babel-plugin-root-import": "^6.4.1",
"babel-preset-es2015": "^6.24.1",

I thought it could be a permissions issue, so I ensured nothing was read only, that didn't change anything. I printed out the particular file that babel-watch is trying to write to and it changes every run.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

The latest version is 7.4.1, not 2.0.7.

We don't actively support using babel 6 anymore, it's long, long dead.

Well I'm just a little out of date. I didn't realize. Thanks
