Hello, I accidentally came across the following error in Event Viewer:
"A fatal error occurred while creating a TLS client credential. The internal error state is 10013."
Source: Schannel
Event ID: 36871
Process ID points to LSASS
I filtered out the results to only reveal errors of the same source (Schannel), and the earliest record registered was nearly a month ago. However the first time it logged multiple entries during a single session and then never showed up again for about a month. The first entries also had a partially different message "The certificate received from the remote server was issued by an untrusted certificate authority. Because of this, none of the data contained in the certificate can be validated. The TLS connection request has failed. The attached data contains the server certificate." and a different event ID: 36882
More than 20 days later, the current error ID 36871 logged a single entry once and didn't show up again until a couple of days ago. Over the past two days it has been logging too many times (typically 8 entries per hour) and it repeats precisely in the same pattern. Today I'm starting to notice it's logging even more entries compared to yesterday, but also in a consistent pattern.
I tried looking online for an explanation and a solution but everything I found was way beyond my limited technical understanding. All I could grasp (potentially) that it has to do with establishing secure connections with the server (I don't know which server are they talking about), with some pages mentioning something about .NET framework.
Please note: I'm having this issue on a personal (unmanaged) laptop running Windows 10 Home (21H1), and typically connected to my home WiFi network.
I would really appreciate if someone can help me with the following questions:
Please help
Update: I tried connecting my laptop to the same hotspot a bit longer, and after an hour the same error logged, but so far it only generated one entry.
