I was having VS 2022 Community installed on my notebook. I decided to clone one of my .NET 9.0 repository. Then I realized that current release of VS is not compatible with .NET 9.0 and need to update it to version 17.13. Run the VS installer but it was not progressing on the download. So, I thought installer is broken and tried to install it from scratch. Also it did not made any progress too. Then I followed some questions on Stackoverflow. Uninstalled VS and installer. Deleted related folders etc. Downloaded recent installer. But still no luck. It is waiting on download stage and after a while and getting this error message: "Unable to download installation files. Check your internet connection and try again". Also tried downloading .exe and it did not download neither. It is weird that I can download vs installer but cannot download vs_community.exe.
Then I got the file from another computer of mine and tried offline installing with following command, got the same result with vs installer.
vs_community.exe --layout c:\localVSlayout --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.NetWeb --lang en-US
I tried MS support chat, tried different solutions like disabling firewalls, proxy and virus protection, checking DNS, and neither of them helped. I am not having any problem with other computers in the same network. So there must be some difference with the notebook. It has the latest win11 Version 24H2 with OS build number 26100.3476.
I collected following log and it basically says "Unknown error 12029" that means a socket connection failed because encrypted communication couldn't be established.

I suspect some certificate issue or some background service(s) are not present or not running but no idea which one is that.
I need suggestions to find the reason of the problem. Thanks in advance.

Reset to default 0This was just a silly of me. I was having an extra line of "93.184.215.201 download.visualstudio.microsoft" which is not commented in "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts" file. After commenting out and running "ipconfig /flushdns" command problem is solved.
