From the output from the second command it appears that there is a node_modules folder (and potentially package.json) with both the CLI and an old version of @schematics/angular installed locally (C:\Users\User). This is most likely the source of the problem and under typical scenarios should not be present.

@clydin You are right, there is a node_modules folder in C:\Users\User\, and removing the folder solved the problem. Thank you, and sorry for the trouble.

Could you provide the output of both the following commands?

npm ls -g @schematics/angular
npm ls @schematics/angular

npm install -g npm npm uninstall -g angular-cli npm cache clean npm install -g @angular/cli @lates

No problem. I’m glad you got it sorted out.
