Cypress 9.2.1 + Node 17.1 (Win 11) Fails/Errors When Attempting Any Test

Current behavior

On a brand new, vanilla install, when attempting to run any test (in this case, one of the included spec files), Cypress opens the browser, and then immediately fails as follows:

The error is: Error: error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported

Stack Trace:

Error: The following error was thrown by a plugin. We stopped running your tests because a plugin crashed. Please check your plugins file (`D:\Web\basekit\cypress\plugins\index.js`)

Setting "nodeVersion": "bundled" in the config resolves this error, but this wasn’t required previously

Desired behavior

The test should run

Test code to reproduce

Vanilla fresh install and the bundled test specs

The code for this is done in cypress-io/cypress#19977, but has yet to be released. We’ll update this issue and reference the changelog when it’s released.
