The solution for me was to remove usages of --openssl-legacy-provider wherever Electron might see it. However, webpack then demanded it, otherwise creating an error message error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported.

So make sure that any Node scripts that webpack uses includes node --openssl-legacy-provider and it worked for me.

This seems to be a problem with Node > 16.
