ng serve giving error on newly created angular project

On my Windows 11 machine, I have install nodejs and Angular. created a project with ng new command and then tried to run it with ng serve. It is giving me following error

c:\working\projects\xxxxxxx\xxxxxx-site>ng serve
Error: Schema validation failed with the following errors:
Data path "" must have required property 'browserTarget'.
Ensure the file is part of the TypeScript program via the 'files' or 'include' property.

I have not edited any file after ng new command. Am I missing any step?

I looking at https://angular.io/guide/setup-local my impression i didn't have to edit any files after doing ng new to run ng serve
