I was experiencing the same issue and how I got to resolve mine was by switching to php 8.1 as I have multiple php versions installed.

At the time of the issue occurring my php version was 8.2.6.

My composer.json file php file was set at

require {
 "php": ">=7.3 || ^8.2.5",
  ....
  ....

After switching to php 8.1 I updated the php version in my comper.json to

require {
 "php": "8.1 || ^8.2.5",
  ....
  ....

and updated my dependencies in order to run using php version 8.1 using the command

composer update

and the issue was resolved on my end. Hope it helps someone too.

If this problem appear when you use valet-window from https://github.com/cretueusebiu/valet-windows, try to reinstall your valet-windows. I have met the same problem, and reinstalling the valet-windows solved it.
