I can successfully able to run npx react-native-windows-init.
Try the following:

npm i --save-dev @react-native-community/cli

@saikksub Can you share your environment issue as well? (although now I guess it's not reproing for you?)

The CLI version you should get is version 3.
This might be due to a global install of react-native. That used to be standard practice but can cause issues like this which is why it's no longer the recommended practice.
Try:
npm uninstall -g react-native

Saving @react-native-community/cli as a dev dependency and then retrying the command worked for me too.

FYI: I have the same issue and do not have react-native installed globally.

I installed the @react-native-community/cli as a dev dep as suggested and now it works.
it installed version 4.8.0 while react-native has a dependency on ^3.0.0 and installed version 3.2.1
