Hello,

I'm unable to build any example projects after isntalling the ESP-IDE and IDF ver 5 using the windows online tools. I get the following error messages when I try to build.

Python being checked: C:\Espressif\python_env\idf5.0_py3.8_env\Scripts\python.exe

Hi Steve,

What version of Windows are you using? It looks like your root certificates are bit out of date.

If you are on Windows 8.1 or earlier, please try to install this update https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/top ... 7982bf3ea5
