Then I imported the certs following these instructions
Code:
certutil –addstore -enterprise –f "Root" c:\cert\www-goodreads-com-chain.pem
certutil –addstore -enterprise –f "Root" c:\cert\www-goodreads-com.pem
Tried downloading metadata. No good. Restarted computer. Tried again... no good! 
Then I ran certmgr.msc (winkey + r), went to Trusted Root Certification Authorities -> Certificates -> double clicked the last one on the list www.goodreads.com, and after that I tried again and it worked!!  |
Thank you SO VERY MUCH!! I had to simplify it for myself, as I'm autistic and so I thought to share it with others that are struggling and make it less complicated for them:
