yarn start Fails with Open SSL message

[ErikRobles]

When running yarn start or npm start, I get the following message. For those who downgraded to nodejs 16, they have stated that it works fine. However, how to get around this without downgrading? Thank you.

opensslErrorStack: [ 'error:03000086:digital envelope routines::initialization error' ],
  library: 'digital envelope routines',
  reason: 'unsupported',
  code: 'ERR_OSSL_EVP_UNSUPPORTED'
}

Same issue, haven't figured out how to go around without downgrading

Update: just figured out how to fix it.

On Windows command prompt:
set NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider

On PowerShell:
$env:NODE_OPTIONS = "--openssl-legacy-provider"
