The information posted isn't sufficient to reproduce the issue without a lot of guesswork. There have however been other reports of app incompatibility updating from Node.js 24.15.0 to 24.16.0. In at least two cases, app maintainers were able to fix the incompatibility.
You may get a better response if you check with electron-forge if this is a known issue, and then report it to them if it is not known, with exact repro steps (including the versions you are using) so that they may possibly be able to advise you.

This is the Node.js issue tracker, consider reporting that to electron-forge instead.

I have come across several packages that stopped working with Node.js 24.16.0. In your situation I would check that you're using the latest available
electron-forge, and if you still have a problem, then make sure you report it toelectron-forge.MikeMcC399 commentedon May 27, 2026
@electron-forge/cli@7.11.2usesextract-zip@2.0.1which is the dependency causing compatibility issues in other packages.If that is the package that you are using.
