Same here on my laptop, probably the reason:

Microsoft fixes TLS handshake failures in Windows 11 22H2

Microsoft has addressed a known issue that triggers SSL/TLS handshake failures on client and server platforms with the release of the KB5018496 preview cumulative update.

Caused by Windows security updates released during this month's Patch Tuesday, on October 11th, the issue has now also been fixed on Windows 11 22H2 systems.

On impacted Windows 11 devices, users see SEC_E_ILLEGAL_MESSAGE errors in applications when connections to servers experience issues.

"We address an issue that might affect some types of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) connections. These connections might have handshake failures," Microsoft said.

"For developers, the affected connections are likely to receive one or more records followed by a partial record with a size of less than 5 bytes within a single input buffer."

Since KB5018496 is an optional preview update, it doesn't contain any security fixes and will not be installed automatically.

You can install it on your device by going into Settings > Windows Update, clicking 'Check for Updates,' and then selecting the optional preview to download and install.
