Can’t connect to HTTPS URL because the SSL module is not available #8273

Resolution

I did a trace with Process Monitor.
D:\Anaconda3\DLLs_ssl.pyd search for the OpenSSL DLLs but in the wrong/current location!
As they are not found the search goes to C:\Windows\System32 where we have the same DLLs, installed by an other application, but with a different version. 😦

The DLLs delivered by Anaconda3 are located here:
D:\Anaconda3\Library\bin

My workaround:
I have copied the following files

libcrypto-1_1-x64.*
libssl-1_1-x64.*

from D:\Anaconda3\Library\bin to D:\Anaconda3\DLLs.

And it works as a charm!
