npm update check failed

Last night I tried to update my node and npm, it seemed to have been successful, however ever since then I have been getting this same error any time I try and run any npm command.

I have tried uninstalling and re-installing npm, but cannot get past this error message below.

Node version: v8.3.0

Error message I am getting:

┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

I’m not sure what other details to include here, if anyone has had this issue before I’d appreciate your help. Thanks!
