Additional information

I have read the docs and I am aware Node.js 14 drops platform support for Windows 7 meaning it is no longer tested and may be broken. However I have a requirement to use Windows 7 so I have tried, successfully, to use 14 .x until I upgraded to 14.18.0 which broke for me. Multiple previously releases of 14.x have worked without issue. Filing this issue for awareness and to see if this was an intentional / known break or something that might be addressed in a future 14 release.
