This started happening just a few days ago. I can access the site on the same computer in Firefox. Not sure why it is telling me that the site is insecure, but that must be related. I tried ipconfig /flushdns, deleting my cookies, and disabling my firewall but none of those fixed it. Can't find any solutions online either so far. Using the latest Chrome update and Windows 10. Please help!

Edit: Solved my issue by installing this Windows update: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4284835

It is possible that you might have deleted trusted certificates from chrome trust store (github CA SSL certificate is issued by DigiCert High Assurance EV Root CA ), where as in for other browsers the trust store must be a different location in your case.

To check above listed certificate present in Chrome trusted store or not, do the following

Open Chrome then Go to Settings => Manage Certificates - Click on it, when Certificates pop-up shows then check at' Trusted Root Certificates Authorities, if desired certificate is not present then import it.
