Beware of Windows Update KB5018410

Hello to all, since the Windows Update KB5018410 I sometimes have problems with ssl network connections with httpRequest().

According to the debugger console:

Code: Select all

 schannel: Next InitializeSecurityContext failed: SEC_E_ILLEGAL_MESSAGE (0x80090326) - This error usually occurs when a fatal SSL/TLS alert is received (e.g. handshake failed).
It is not a general problem and seems to affect only certain connections. I could not reproduce the problem with the cURL tool or various browsers (including the old iE11).

The problem can only be solved by rolling back the update.

Is this a PureBasic problem that affects the Http lib, or just a generic error in Windows?

Microsoft Onedrive is also affected. (https://borncity.com/win/2022/10/22/pro ... 2-10-2022/)

I experienced the problem when connecting to a specific server. And in that case it only affected PureBasic. I was able to connect to the server with the cUrl tool and various browsers without any problems.

After endless troubleshooting and attempts with older PB versions, the problem was solved by uninstalling the latest Windows 10 update (KB5018410)
