What does yarn why is-windows give you?
sorry for the delay to answer:
when the error Cannot find module ‘is-windows’ appears return this:
warning ../../../package.json: No license field
[1/4] Why do we have the module "is-windows"...?
[2/4] Initialising dependency graph...
[3/4] Finding dependency...
error We couldn't find a match!

It should return something like this:
% yarn why is-windows
yarn why v1.22.17

is-windows should be fine. It should not cause a problem. It should be in your node_modules and your yarn.lock, but not your package.json unless you specifically want to make use of it in your code.
so the way i found to fix this error was running this command: yarn add is-windows
when i did this i never got more this error
Weird. That should not be necessary, but if it fixed it for you, then 
yes it’s weird but thanks for helping me
