i am getting same error. I am using this basic code starting code.
when i scan for first time than it works perfectly but after close the app and start again this error shows.
Code is

`const qrcode = require('qrcode-terminal');

const { Client } = require('whatsapp-web.js');
const client = new Client();

client.on('qr', (qr) => {
qrcode.generate(qr, { small: true });
});

client.on('ready', () => {
console.log('Client is ready!');
});

client.initialize();
`

OS: Windows
Whatsapp-web.js Version: I have tries this version https://github.com/Julzk/whatsapp-web.js/tarball/jkr_hotfix_7 and also test current version.
Node js: i have tries v18.12.1, v21.6.2 and many other versions also

before 3 days it runs perfectly.

I think this issue can be related to 17c75cc (new 2.2408.1 wweb version), also as my issue #2785 and I dont undertand why @alechkos close such issues, also without any comment why.
