Your flow credentials file is encrypted using a system-generated key.
If the system-generated key is lost for any reason, your credentials
file will not be recoverable, you will have to delete it and re-enter
your credentials.
You should set your own key using the 'credentialSecret' option in
your settings file. Node-RED will then re-encrypt your credentials
file using your chosen key the next time you deploy a change.

The point is i suspect somewhere between Node 18.19.0 and Latest nodejs release, something has changed. I cannot ascertain that from the Major number only.
Please provide FULL Node Version numbers.

Thank you. This looks promising.
Certainly looking like something has changed in most recent LTS of V18 and V20.
Would be good to know if anyone is running the version IMMEDIATELY before current LTS versions 18.20.2 and 20.12.2.
Is anyone running node-red on 18.20.1 or 20.12.1?
The latest versions of Node 18/20 include a security fix that has broken Node-RED on Windows.
We'll have a fix for Node-RED later today.
