BROWSER SYNC headless environment ERROR

So i just started learning Angular 2 and after running the npm install command on git bash and opening my text editor, I was trying to run the npm start command to start the typescript and lite server. Everything went well until this error showed up [1] [BS] Couldn't open browser (if you are using BrowserSync in a headless environment, you might want to set the open option to false) and the browser didn't open. Here's how it looks `

$ npm start

[1] [BS] Access URLs:

[1]     External: http://172.30.31.239:3002

[1] [BS] Couldn't open browser (if you are using BrowserSync in a headless environment, you might want to set the open option to false)
`  

I'm using a Windows 8 64bit OS and Chrome is the default browser

A related question https://stackoverflow.com/a/42845813/8130472 was answered and suggested the option of adding C:\Windows\System32 to the System Variables but i don't know how to go about it.

Also, on this link, https://forums.bignerdranch.com/t/browser-sync-couldnt-open-browser/10936/4 another suggestion was to add the --browser"chrome.exe"(Windows). That didn't work either.

Any suggestions? Or Solutions?
