I'm also facing same issue.

The issue doesn't seems to be with ionic/cli.

I think I may have messed with OS settings. I fixed it by creating a new local user account on windows 10.

Logged in to Windows with the new account and tried to create a new project with v6.10.1.

It worked, no issue.

Can you send log with --verbose?

Jul 22 '20 11:07 albertgaya

Got same error. In my case, with --verbose flag it's showing some 400 error in connection to some proxy api.instagram.com It seems that archive link is fine, but it crashing because he can't download it throat this proxy. Is it normal behaviour or something wrong from my side, because it seems strange, how instagram related with ionic?

UPD: Yes, it seems that it some local issue, because I don't see any proxies in logs from other device.
