    This is very wrong. What are your versions of Windows and Chrome? Does it happen with other browsers than Chrome? Do you have installed any security software beside Windows Defender?

I use Windows 7 and I had the same problem, same error irrespective of browser. I found it was because I'd disabled the Windows Update service not knowing that by doing so I was preventing a root certificate from being downloaded and installed. I set the Update Service startup type to Automatic, started the service, waited for a few hours then checked and the problem had gone.
