Additional Information

Might be related to: #37404

and maybe solved with #37506 however this fix seems to have not made it

@codebytere if you can have a look please, it is really stopping us from upgrading to 23+ versions of Electron.

Duplicate of #37404 - it's on my radar and updates will be posted there!
