Cypress - Error: certificate has expired in existing project

[Ragunath]

Hi Team,

As we are using old versions of cypress and trying to upgrade it.

Angular 11:
Cypress: 4.12.1
Node 14.20.0 in local and 16.20.0 in Azure pipeline.

We are getting below certificate issues in the pipeline, but not locally.

Also, I tried to upgrade the Cypress version from 4.12.1 to 5/6/7/8.. latest. It throws different issue as

Please suggest any solution

I can successfully install in new Angular 11 project. It Occurs only in existing project
