Its semi inconsistant, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.

If its a cert is nvda itself needing an update with the right certs or something.

It can't effect a load of us and not others randomly.

Its on several systems I have and 2 networks, I even ran a copy without anything and its all its effecting.

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
