@mbourd We'll need a reproducible example in order to investigate. This works normally so likely something in your project may be a factor. See also this issue about file watching not working with an app with service workers: #702

same for me we have set "watchForFileChanges: false" in the cypress.config.ts and it still reloads the component test after each save

We'll have to close this without a reproducible example. Please comment if there is a way for us to investigate this.
