Unable to build on Windows 11 with Node.js v18.12.0 due to code: 'ERR_OSSL_EVP_UNSUPPORTED'

When attempting to build on WIndows 11 22H2 with node v18.12.0 I get the following error:

> [email protected] build

Browserslist: caniuse-lite is outdated. Please run:
npx browserslist@latest --update-db

Why you should do it regularly:

node:internal/crypto/hash:71
  this[kHandle] = new _Hash(algorithm, xofLen);
                  ^

Node.js v18.12.0

I was able to fix it by first typing:
npx browserslist@latest --update-db

and then:
SET NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider

after that run the build command again.

Hope that helps.
