@RobTheTeacher This usually points to optional native binding install issues on Windows (often cache/lock-state related).

A clean reset that commonly fixes it:

1. remove node_modules + lockfile
2. verify npm cache
3. reinstall with optional deps enabled
4. run dev again

Commands (Windows):

• rmdir /s /q node_modules
• del package-lock.json
• npm cache verify
• npm config set optional true
• npm install
• npm run dev

Also confirm Node is current LTS; some node/npm combos can break native optional resolution.
