title: How to fix Azure functions: Incompatible Node.js version (v16.4.1)
body: <p>I've read thru the  <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-reference-node?tabs=v2#javascript-function-basics" rel="nofollow noreferrer">doc</a> and created a new azure function with the VS Code extension just using the boilerplate code it spits out.</p>
  <p>Then I set this up locally in local.settings.json (I'm on Windows)</p>
  <pre><code>{
    &quot;IsEncrypted&quot;: false,
    &quot;Values&quot;: {
      &quot;AzureWebJobsStorage&quot;: &quot;&quot;,
      &quot;FUNCTIONS_WORKER_RUNTIME&quot;: &quot;node&quot;,
      &quot;FUNCTIONS_EXTENSION_VERSION&quot;: &quot;~4&quot;,
      &quot;WEBSITE_NODE_DEFAULT_VERSION&quot;: &quot;~16&quot;
    }
  }
  </code></pre>
  <p>But I still get that node version is an incompatible error.</p>
