Issue with OpenSSL compatibility in Node.js v21.6.1

[Jayapriyan-m]

Description: I am encountering an issue related to OpenSSL compatibility while using Node.js version 21.6.1. When attempting to run my application, which relies on cryptographic operations, I receive the following error

Details:

Node.js version: 21.6.1 OpenSSL version: 3.0.12+quic

Node.js v21.6.1

Steps to reproduce: Installed Dependencies [npm install] and ran the command npm start to start the development server . But it won't get started

Additional Information:

I have verified that Node.js v21.6.1 is using OpenSSL version 3.0.12+quic.

Expected Behavior: I expect the application to run without encountering cryptographic errors related to OpenSSL compatibility.

Environment: Operating System: Windows 10
