### Electron Forge version
7.6.0
### Electron version
v33.2.1
### Operating system
Windows 10(22H2)
### Last known working Electron Forge version
_No response_
### Expected behavior
I want to restart my app when settings changed. After searching the electron docs [here](https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/app#apprelaunchoptions), I added the following codes:
```js
ipcMain.handle('restart', () => {
app.relaunch()
app.quit()
})
```
The expected behavior is I can restart the app correctly.
### Actual behavior
When I invoked `restart`, the app did restart but showed following errors in the browser console
```
VM5:86 WebSocket connection to 'ws://0.0.0.0:3000/ws' failed: Error in connection establishment: net::ERR_SOCKET_NOT_CONNECTED
```
I did not use WebSocket in my project and the **ONLY** place I can find ws dependency is in electron-forge
```
