I'm having an issue with npm start, it takes almost 2 minutes before the server starts and opens the page on my browser. Then whenever I make changes to my code then save it and reload the page, the server does not update the page with the new changes, thus forcing me to stop the server and restart it. I've look for solutions on stack overflow but was unable to solve my issue. Any support would be greatly appreciated.

You need to be more specific with your questions. At first read: stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-ask
If you ask better questions, you will get answers.
As already mentioned, there are many react starters. If you stuck with one, try another. Esbuild and Vite are nice options too, besides NextJs and Gatsby ...
Or maybe you should use
npm run devinstead ofnpm start;)Turns out the problem wasn't react or npm, rather where I had my repo from GitHub. If you try running a react app from a location that doesn't contain the npm information it will more or less break. Regardless, thank you to all who responded.
If you have bootstrapped the app with create-react-app, it comes with webpack bundler
Try 'esbuild' bundler esbuild.github.io/
Or
You can try vite app with react.
vitejs.dev/
