What the scanner evaluates

  • Date, time, time zone, Windows Time configuration, synchronization result, and drift.
  • TLS availability, certificate-chain failures, root update context, and Microsoft HTTPS endpoints.
  • WinINET, WinHTTP, PAC, environment proxy layers, VPN context, DNS, and firewall signals.
  • Windows Update readiness and recent Schannel, Store, and connection events.

Evidence-based repair

The report identifies whether the stronger signal is time, trust, network, or policy. Any automatic correction is followed by a new secure-connection check.

Corporate TLS inspection, router filtering, remote certificate incidents, and organization-managed proxy rules may require the network administrator.
