I struggled with this for a while, and found that _removing_ environment variables:

- SSL\_CERT\_FILE
- JULIA\_SSL\_CA\_ROOTS\_PATH  
made things work. At the windows powershell prompt, these can be removed manually (and temporarily, for testing) with:  
Remove-Item Env:SSL\_CERT\_FILE  
Remove-Item Env:JULIA\_SSL\_CA\_ROOTS\_PATH  
If you find this works, you can then remove them from your personal environment variables.
