Schannel Event ID 36887 Error - Mr Wolf - 03-31-2021

Hi all!
I noticed two errors in my Event Viewer regarding Schannel with Event ID 36887, one with error:
Fatal alert received: 40
and the other one with error:
Fatal alert received: 70

After some investigations, I discovered they seem related to Gimp: I get those errors whenever I start Gimp, but, oddly enough, in the computer in which I noticed them first, I also get them at boot.

I'm running Gimp 2.10.22 on Windows 7 64 bit.

I also tried to install Gimp 2.10.22 on another machine with Windows 7 64 bit and I get the same error, but only with code 40 and only when I start Gimp, but not at boot.

I don't have the same errors on a machine with Windows 10 64 bit.

I made some searches, but I haven't well understood the meaning of those errors. Perhaps Gimp is trying to connect to some server to find updates?

Did anyone notice those errors, too?

Thanks in advance.

Using NirSoft CurrPorts, I discovered that, when I start Gimp, it tries to connect to IP 8.43.85.13, which says "Application is not available" (whatever it means Rolleyes ).

Making some other researches, the error seems to connected to what it is discussed here:

Did you uncheck Check for updates in Edit ➤ Preferences ➤ System resources ➤ Network access?

Hi, I posted my issue in the Gimp GitLab page, here:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/6675

Thanks to Michael Schumacher for the solution. I solved the problem (which I think affects all Windows 7 users) installing the Microsoft patch from here:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/update-to-enable-tls-1-1-and-tls-1-2-as-default-secure-protocols-in-winhttp-in-windows-c4bd73d2-31d7-761e-0178-11268bb10392
and modifying the registry.

Searching for updates (also manually) didn't work, too, and now it does. (I couldn't find the option to disable the automatic search for the updates Blush )

Nope, I meant I was searching for it earlier, but I couldn't find it. I missed it browsing the settings, and I searched: gimp search for automatic updates option
And, even now, I can't find it searching for example: "gimp" "System Resources" "Network Access" updates Huh
