Software Updater error: Failed to make connection (26)

Freshly updated to 5.67.7763 64 Bit

I am running windows 10 pro 64-bit

I just bought a license to use the software updater feature.

All I get is "An error occurred with code: Failed to make connection (26)"

I've disabled Emsisoft and malwarebytes to see if either of those were the issue.

I too have been getting the "An error occurred with code: Failed to make connection (26)". This has been going on for over a year. I have had no help in figuring out the problem.

I kind of found a fix.

Download the portable no installer version and that works for me while I wait for a fix.
