Based on a similar report here https://github.com/electron/electron-packager/issues/590, I excluded rcedit-x64.exe from Windows Defender. Also just turned off defender entirely. No improvement.

I'm not actually doing an code signing. Not using docker or anything else interesting. I've used electron-builder for years and but I haven't run it in a few weeks (may have upgraded some component) and it just started giving me this error.

Any ideas for troubleshooting this?
