@leocg Like to windows 11? I don't wanna do that really since I doubt my pc can handle it nor do I got the money for it, and if ur talking about windows 7, pretty sure I have all them. And wouldn't it work anyway? Because it worked normal before my pc broke now its just not its so annoying

@shadowofthedead Nope, I was referring to Win 7 updates, specially security ones.
The problem is probably being caused by lack of (updated) certificates and since Windows 7 stop being supported by Microsoft, I don't know if you can get those certificates.

@leocg Okay, but all the websites worked fine before my pc broke so I don't know why this would happen. And it shows an error every time I try to scan for updates. Great. My pc is just garbage

@shadowofthedead Also, make sure your computer is set to the right date. If your date is wrong, the computer will think the certificates are wrong.

@shadowofthedead If the OS needed to be reinstalled/recovered, maybe the certificates you had before couldn't be downloaded again.
When you click on the padlock badge, you see only what the image in first post says?

@leocg yes it apparently had to be recovered, they didnt tell me the details about it. And yes that's all I see when I click the button. But also idk if PC's use the same certificates for diff browsers but in Firefox the same websites work fine, so if the certificates are same for all browsers on ur pc then it's probably just an opera gx problem

@shadowofthedead If the date was wrong I would restart GX just to be sure, but it probably isn't required. Of course if you didn't need to fix the date then that wasn't the problem.

temminckiiii last edited byThe displayed error may be shown when your certificate setup is out of date - if you’re using Windows 7, you have to renew them manually (since Microsoft doesn’t support Windows 7 anymore). A lot of websites rely on those certificates for authentication purposes. Please check whether the DST Root CA X3 certificate is still valid on your computer, and if you have the new ISRG Root X1 already installed by any chance. You can do so by running certmgr.msc in the command line (press the Windows key + R to bring up the Run command, and type certmgr.msc and press Enter).
If you don’t have the ISRG Root X1 certificate set up yet, here’s a quick-how to:
Download the ISRG Root X1.der certificate file from https://letsencrypt.org/certificates/
Click the downloaded file to start the installation process (or left click and choose install).
Click install certificate.
Click “Next” on the next window.
Select “Place all certificates in the following store”.
Click “Browse” and select “Trusted Root Certification Authorities”. Confirm the changes by pressing “OK” and “Next”.
Finish the certificate installation by pressing “Finish”.Run certmgr.msc in the command line to check if the installation was successful (the ISRG Root X1 Certificate should appear under the Trusted Root Certification Authorities Certificate Store).
ABOUT FIREFOX: Browsers other than Firefox generally use the operating system's facilities to decide which certificate authorities are trusted. Firefox instead had certificate list as part of the browser, but that has changed. Maybe you have an old version of Firefox. https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2021/07/28/making-client-certificates-available-by-default-in-firefox-90/
