Can't use createRef in latest version of create-react-app - reactjs

Question

I am learning React using create-react-app, and I'm getting this error in my app:
TypeError: react__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_0___default.a.createRef() is not a function
Now, I know that this feature was only introduced in React 16.3, but that seems to be the version I have installed. I initialized everything by typing:
npx create-react-app probando02
If I check my version:
npm view react version
16.13.1
And my package.json file is:
{
"name": "probando02",
"version": "0.1.0",
"private": true,
"dependencies": {
"#testing-library/jest-dom": "^4.2.4",
"#testing-library/react": "^9.5.0",
"#testing-library/user-event": "^7.2.1",
"react": "^16.13.1",
"react-dom": "^16.13.1",
"react-scripts": "3.4.1"
},
"scripts": {
"start": "react-scripts start",
"build": "react-scripts build",
"test": "react-scripts test",
"eject": "react-scripts eject"
},
"eslintConfig": {
"extends": "react-app"
},
"browserslist": {
"production": [
">0.2%",
"not dead",
"not op_mini all"
],
"development": [
"last 1 chrome version",
"last 1 firefox version",
"last 1 safari version"
]
}
}
EDIT: my React environment, as shown by npx create-react-app --info:
Environment Info:
current version of create-react-app: 3.4.1

So what's going on?

I am using the same version but it works fine for me.
And also here is my package.json file
{
"name": "example",
"version": "0.1.0",
"private": true,
"dependencies": {
"#testing-library/jest-dom": "^4.2.4",
"#testing-library/react": "^9.3.2",
"#testing-library/user-event": "^7.1.2",
"react": "^16.13.1",
"react-dom": "^16.13.1",
"react-scripts": "3.4.1"
},
"scripts": {
"start": "react-scripts start",
"build": "react-scripts build",
"test": "react-scripts test",
"eject": "react-scripts eject"
},
"eslintConfig": {
"extends": "react-app"
},
"browserslist": {
"production": [
">0.2%",
"not dead",
"not op_mini all"
],
"development": [
"last 1 chrome version",
"last 1 firefox version",
"last 1 safari version"
]
}
}
It worked fine for me it was launching the default website in port 3000.
I think its just a update issue or so, just try updating npm.
