New sfdx version 7.173 with npm does not work - Error: Cannot find module 'node:os'

[JuliWaver]

Summary

I got some API version error therefore I updated my sfdx version with command: npm update --global sfdx-cli like in the past. Afterwards nothing is working anymore. I can't run any sfdx command withou getting an error message.

Steps To Reproduce:

Update your sfdx version to the latest version with command "npm update --global sfdx-cli" and try to use any sfdx command afterwards (e.g. sfdx version, sfdx force:org:list, ...)

Expected result

Normally the command should work, no error message shown.

Actual result

Error message is shown:

PS C:\XXX> sfdx --version
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:905
throw err;
^

Error: Cannot find module 'node:os'

This is an issue with the node version you have installed, make sure to always use the latest LTS version available, see:

#1728

Perfect, thank you so much @cristiand391. I was not able to find the related issue #1728 before. With the new version of node.js v16.18.0 it is working for me :)
