Windows 10: SSL certificate errors across all browsers

Recently, a lot of websites have been breaking for me with SSL certificate errors across all browsers. These websites work perfectly fine on other devices on the same network.
Examples of these websites include reddit, howtogeek etc.

Edge

Firefox
My windows is fully updated and I can confirm that this issue is only limited to my pc. I installed a certificate after it was forced on me by a slightly shady app but it has been a while since I did that and things have started breaking very recently.

I am thinking of restoring all the certificates on my pc to the default, but I wasn't able to find a good method to do so. Help?

ssl certificates

Hi Richard,

This error message SSL certificates could have happened due to several reasons like browser security certificates or outdated browser. We would like to know more about the issue by asking the following questions below:

• Have you tried deleting and clear the cache?
• What browser are you using?
• Have you tried using another browser?
• Have you tried contacting your software developer?

We look forward to your response to our queries.

 

SSL Certificate Error

I have been using WIndows 10 since a year and I have encountered this problem several times that, some of the commands, which require internet interaction, display an SSL Certificate error. The error says:

"There was a problem confirming the ssl certificate: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:777)"

The above error is displayed during configuration (cloning, pushing of git repositories, installing python packages via pip, etc.) or installation of various utilities requiring internet interaction.

Kindly help to solve up the issue.

 

changing SSL certification in Windows 10 Mail

Hi,

Assuming you are seeing the error: "There is a problem with the server's security certificate. The security certificate is not from a trusted certifying authority.", it often happens when you don't use SSL to secure your email account. To fix this error,
use the following steps:

• Choose Settings > Manage Accounts.
• Choose the account that's out-of-date to display the account settings dialog.
• Choose Change mailbox sync settings > Advanced mailbox settings. You may have to scroll down in the dialog to see Advanced mailbox settings.
• Check the boxes for Require SSL for incoming email and
  Require SSL for outgoing email and then choose Done >
  Save.

Let us know how it goes.
