• After looking at the Cypress-issue-logs.zip of Cypress 10.11.0 with Chrome 117 it is clearly a duplicate of issue ECONNRESET on Chrome/Chromium 117.0.5851.0 when using Cypress <12.15.0 or passing--headless=old in browser launch options #27804.

You should not see this issue if you update to Cypress 12.15.0 or later.

Note that Node.js 16 has reached end-of-life and only Node.js 18 and 20 are currently supported.

Hi @zubairrshahidd I agree with @MikeMcC399 that the issue you are seeing is a duplicate. Can you try the work arounds listed in #27804 and see if those help? I am going to close this issue as a duplicate at this point. If you find evidence that this is a separate problem please comment back here and we can reopen.
