The npm script start exited without indicating that the create-react-app

Running Windows 10 (Build 18362), using Node.js v10.16.0, npm v6.9.0, and .Net Core v2.2.300.
I created a sample React/Redux application in Visual Studio 2017 via File->New Project, selecting ASP.NET Core Web Application, then selecting React.js and Redux. However, when starting the application via Visual Studio, the browser encounters a 500 error and says:

An unhandled exception occurred while processing the request.
 AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. (One or more errors occurred. (The NPM script 'start' exited without indicating that the create-react-app server was listening for requests. The error output was: 'rimraf' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
 operable program or batch file.
 npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
 npm ERR! errno 1
 npm ERR! [email protected] start: `rimraf ./build && react-scripts start`
 npm ERR! Exit status 1
 npm ERR! 
 npm ERR! Failed at the [email protected] start script.
 npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.
 

To start, I've uninstalled and reinstalled node and npm, deleted node_modules and re-ran npm install. I rebooted before and after re-installing node.

I know that rimraf is installed in the local .\node_modules directory, as I can successfully run .\node_modules\.bin\rimraf. And react-scripts start starts the react portion of the application successfully if I run .\node_modules\.bin\react-scripts start, but why would npm fail to find this?

It's to my understanding that npm adds the local node_modules\.bin to the PATH at the time of script execution, yet it still fails to find both rimraf and react-scripts despite them being accessible if providing an absolute path to the shell.

I have also tried adding .\node_modules\.bin to my system PATH, which allows me (provided I'm in the root of my app directory) to just run react-scripts start and have the application load, but npm run start still fails.

Here is my package.json:
