node.exe exited with code 134 Visual Studio

Question

I am trying to build/run my .NET solution using Visual Studio 2019 and i get this error:

I think this has something to do with memory, because if i restart my pc i can build few times, but then i start getting same error I tried playing with node_options max-old-space-size but no luck

From https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/node-options-env-var-causes-vs-2017-to-crash/241366#T-N368702-N368874-N368902

Zoey Riordan [MSFT]:

Unfortunately this is caused by the fact that the nodejs process we run is 32-bit. In 32-bit node you cannot set max_old_space_size above 4095 since 32-bit process are not able to allocate a full 4GB of heap space. In order to make this work you can choose a smaller heap size or only set the flag on applications which need that amount of heap.

I tried with different values below 4096 for max_old_space_size and found values that removed this build error:

max-old-space-size	Success?	Error message
4096	no	node.exe exited with code 134
4080	no	node.exe exited with code 134
4076	no	node.exe exited with code 134
4075	no	node.exe exited with code 134
4074	no	node.exe exited with code -1073741819
4073	no	node.exe exited with code -1073741819
4072	no	node.exe exited with code -1073741819
4071	yes
4070	yes
4068	yes
4064	yes
4000	yes

(I'm not sure if this depends on the project being compiled.)
