Exp Builder 1.8 client error with HappyPlugin path

After installing Node.js version 16.14.2 and Exp Builder 1.8 on Windows 10 I receive the following error when running npm start.  I'm not sure if there is an NPM problem or an environment path issue:

> exb-client@1.8.0 start
> cross-env NODE_ENV=development webpack --mode development --watch

[webpack-cli] Failed to load 'E:\AGEB\client\webpack.config.js' config

The problem was because I ran 'npm audit fix' after running the install for Exp Builder to correct the high and critical issues that the install reported.  Do not use 'npm audit fix' after installing, although I'm not sure what my IT folks will think about that considering there are 4 high and 1 critical vulnerabilities in the package.  Having not used npm before this, I'm not sure if this is normal.  Thanks for the help.
