NET::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID error

Using win7. Get this error on certain websites. wikipedia won't work at all, other sites can bypass the error. Use primarily chrome but happens in other browsers.

Made sure the windows time is set with internet time.

WIndows firewall is off. No other firewall.

Cleared SSL cache, no change.

No doubt a WIndows issue. Suggestions?

probably windows 7 don't have the new cert for the website

 

[bxb209]

Huh? I said multiple websites and more than one browser

 

[rgd1101]

yeah. if you look, cert have a path. there a based cert that updated, usually from the OS.

Also, make sure your system time (including timezone) is correct.

Upgrade to Windows 10.

I know, not what you want to hear, but it's likely these sites that you're visiting simply do not support the Windows 7 version of your browsers anymore. If you really want to know, download Oracle's VM VirtuaBox and create a Windows 10 virtual machine. Install the latest browser that isn't working on Win 7 onto your Win 10 VM and visit the site. If it works, then you know.

That doesn't help at all. Clearly a windows issue, not a site not supporting win7 browsers. Come on, these are basic sites. What i am looking for is a fix inside windows.

 

[rgd1101]

correct, it is a windows 7 issue. because MS no long do security update for them
basic sites that use up to date SSL cert.
you can still use it for any HTTP site
maybe a VM and run some linux ?

You do know Win7 has not had security updates for several years now. You really need to update to Win 10. You are running an insecure OS (and no, antivirus can't protect you from many security flaws).

Missed that earlier. My bad.

As previously noted, it may simply be time to update to Win 10.

If you must stay with Windows 7 then make sure Windows Updates are at least enabled, the root CA would normally come through that. If this doesn't fix the issue you would need to find out which root CA each website is using and manually update the certificates.
