Chrome warns connection not private. - nzoomed - 25-08-2022
Here's something I've never encountered before.
Fresh install of windows on a new SSD and chrome is warning me of every page being unsecure.
Usually I only see this if the clock is out.
Firefox is behaving fine, but I can't help but think it's hardware related in some way.
Have reset the BIOS, might see if there is an update available.

Check the certificate path and dates on the certificate, that can give some clues as to where it fails,
try reinstalling chrome
Some security software also load certificates into windows so if you have one installed already try reinstalling
But my best guess
Windows 7 ?
what you installing that ancient OS for?
if it's a new clean install, do some windows updates, maybe there is a root certificate update that is needed.
RE: Chrome warns connection not private. - king1 - 25-08-2022
Pretty sure Firefox includes its own root certificate so that might explain why it's OK...

RE: Chrome warns connection not private. - king1 - 25-08-2022
installed 7x64

Same problem, chrome standard installer failed, had to use the offline installer, and then sites like trademe are failing, definitely something to do with that root certificate...
so i tried this one from the MS link above...

All supported x64-based versions of Windows 7

Restarted and trademe is working fine
RE: Chrome warns connection not private. - nzoomed - 25-08-2022
Yeah I had to install SP1 and then the root certificate update would install. Definitely looks like the root certificate update sorted it.
