'Cypress Error after running open command...'error loading V8 startup snapshot file'. I'm not able to run cypress then

The exact error is: [0328/091115.205:FATAL:v8_initializer.cc(447)] Error loading V8 startup snapshot file

Could you please help to fix and be able to use Cypress?

I tried (steps):

First: C:/inetpub/wwwroot/cypress-example>npm install Second: C:/inetpub/wwwroot/cypress-example>npx cypress run

(both command using cmd.exe as administrator permission and I was running it in the file of the website example that I criated...C:/inetpub/wwwroot/cyrpress-teste)

exact error bellow:

Cypress failed to start.

This may be due to a missing library or dependency. https://on.cypress.io/required-dependencies

Please refer to the error below for more details.

Platform: win32-x64 (10.0.19044) Cypress Version: 9.5.2



Solution 1:[1]

I got the same error in cypress v9.5.4

Solved this by installing older version.

Just uninstall the current version, write "cypress": "^8.4.1" and run npm i
