I am using Laragon with PHP 8.3.6 and MySQL 8.0.30.

I'm assuming this is on Windows? Not my area of expertise these days but this could be something to do with OpenSSL not being available. Do you know if the OpenSSL extension is available to PHP?

It is running on Windows and OpenSSL is not installed. Correct.

I suspect you have the openssl extension installed, but your system will need OpenSSL installed. We'll possibly need to provide a more graceful error here.
