Are there any diagnostics or fixes for this issue?

**** FIXED ***

I received a cURL error 60 on the dashboard welcome page.

Investigating this further (google) I found this thread - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35638497/curl-error-60-ssl-certificate-prblm-unable-to-get-local-issuer-certificate

TLDR;

  1. Download and extract cacert.pem from here (a clean file format/data)
    https://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html

  2. Put it in : C:<install dir>\php\extras\ssl\cacert.pem

  3. Add this line to your php.ini curl.cainfo = “<full path and filename from step 2>”

  4. restart your webserver/Apache
