Check Installed Plugins Against The Store - Error when run

I am suddenly getting the following error when attempting to run the plugin - v3.1 on my PC (FH v7.0.15, Win 8.1)

The error does not occur when running the same plugin on my laptop (FH v7.0.15, Win 10)

Any ideas please?

I believe there is a problem with connecting to secure servers using Windows 8, it started happening a couple of weeks ago, so it's not something which can be fixed in the Lua script. It seems to affect using https sites from Windows 8 using the com objects, I suspect it is something only Microsoft can fix.

As Windows 8.1 goes out of support in January next year, I doubt Microsoft intend to do anything to fix this...

Presumably that Windows 8.1 PC is not capable of being upgraded to Windows 10 (it is still a free option).

Thanks all. I have Win 10 running on another partition on my PC, but Win 8.1 with Media Player, somewhat modified and customised to my liking, has been my default OS for several years. I just need to find time to migrate all my programs across to Win 10, but I've been away from home a lot of late. I realise with Win 8.1 EOL I'm going to have to knuckle down and get on with it sooner rather than later!
