Solved - how to go about it (for anyone else encountering a similar issue).

When using Certbot to handle Lets Encrypt SSL then the

c:\Certbot\live\[your web address]\

contain symbolic links (which I failed to realize) pointing to the latest version of certificate files (cert[x].pem, chain[x].pem, fullchain[x].pem, privkey[x].pem) located in this folder:

c:\Certbot\archive\[your web address]\

The mentioned files are sequentially numbered from the first time they were issued (x = 1).

At least in my case, I had to add myself in Advanced Security Settings, in spite of the existance (in addition to System) of Administrators, Users and Authenticated Users. Make sure permissions are inherited from the 'archive' level so that sequential certificates created by renewals are included.

I'll add more details if the next renewal gives any problems.

Cheers!
