Same for me:

Error: read ECONNRESET
    at TCP.onStreamRead (internal/stream_base_commons.js:209:20)
 {
  errno: -4077,
  code: 'ECONNRESET',
  syscall: 'read'
}
Error: read ECONNRESET
    at TCP.onStreamRead (internal/stream_base_commons.js:209:20)

I guess it has to do something with my proxy settings - I think it started after I've set corporate proxy.
Windows10, Node v14.15.1, Chromium 94.0.4596.0, Cypress 8.7.0

We're seeing this too on Win10 and Node 14, latest version of Chrome

No proxy set in our case - was working previously so unsure if this is due to changes in 9.4.x

Ok, so I have finally identified the problem.

Turning off the Network Threat Protection stting in Sophos antivirus solved the problem. Seem like Sophos is fixing it in the next update, but I have not checked that myself.

Thank you so much for pointing out how to bypass this issue! That is very helpful.

What do you mean by "Seem like Sophos is fixing it in the next update"? Is there any roadmap or development plan for Sophos? I can not find anything on their official website. And our company`s policy does not allow disable that setting. I am really depressed now. @jbogheand

The responsible for this kind of things in my company has looked it up and told me that Sophos is fixing it, but I have not verified it myself.

Got it! Thank you!
