Hi @Abaos

There have been multiple threads today on this same subject:

- [Not starting on window 11 "Error: spawn EINVAL"](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/not-starting-on-window-11-error-spawn-einval/87153)
- [How to solve this issue when im trying to install node red for the first time?](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/how-to-solve-this-issue-when-im-trying-to-install-node-red-for-the-first-time/87147)
- [I can't open the node-red](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/i-cant-open-the-node-red/87135)

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.
