Anyone find a solution to this yet?

If you are following benawad's course, just copy the code instead of generating it. Don't stop, chamos!

It's because it's mistaking the tsconfig.json script for a json file (because of the file ending) and opens it with your default editor.

I haven't tested it yet.

But if the problem resides in Windows default file applications. A fix could be to unset default application for *.json files (notepad in my case). Here's an article on how to reset default file application: answers.microsoft.com. Default application for *.json is unset by default, and (at least in my case) is set by the user manually.

This approach could be a little naive, as the problem ultimately resides with npx and the way npx handles file execution. And as such this fix may not fix the problem. As I said, I have not tested if it works.
