First-Time Startup Error

General

Hey, completely new to both NodeRed and this forum. I tried running it for the first time and was met with the following errors:

11 Apr 11:23:42 - [info] Node-RED version: v3.1.8
11 Apr 11:23:42 - [info] Node.js  version: v20.12.2
11 Apr 11:23:42 - [info] Windows_NT 10.0.22631 x64 LE
11 Apr 11:23:42 - [error] Failed to start server:
11 Apr 11:23:42 - [error] Error: spawn EINVAL
    at ChildProcess.spawn (node:internal/child_process:421:11)
    at spawn (node:child_process:761:9)
    at Object.execFile (node:child_process:351:17)

I'm running it out Windows machine using NodeJS v.20.12.2 and npm v 10.5.2
Any help with this would be really appreciated! Thank you!

Hi @Abaos

There have been multiple threads today on this same subject:

We are aware of the issue - caused by a security fix in the latest Node 18/20 releases earlier this week.

We are working on a fix.
