Hmmm I have experienced this on multiple windows 10 computers at
multiple locations.
It also effects nvdas own checking for updates and this was on 2
different network previders and 3 computers.
2 of them wireless, one wired, 2 in the same location.
So it can't just be windows, its also effecting the update check
in help.
But yeah, who knows could be anything I guess.
Of course its not a showstopper I'll just have to get my updates
manually.

Hi,
The author of Add-on Updater himself (I) have experienced this
once, and the workaround seems to be to visit
addons.nvda-project.org website using your preferred web
browser. If NV Access server was offline, chances are that folks
would have reported problems with not only Add-on Updater, but
NVDA update checks as well, affecting folks who do ask NVDA to
check for updates every day. Since it doesn't affect everyone,
chances are that the computer (more specifically, the operating
system) might be assuming that the web trusts soon to expire
security certificate without realizing that it isn't -
connecting to websites flagged as secure (such as NV Access
website) would inform Windows that the web is safer again.
Cheers,
Joseph
