Cause
In the majority of the cases, the issue is caused by 3rd party software, which damages, miss configures the LSP Layer or takes exclusive control of it. Pay attention to programs that say "the installation will modify Winsock".
One of causes is that the Bytemobile Web Configurator service of bytemobile software corrupts Windows library winsock.dll. As a result, Acronis software cannot create a secure connection. Please note that Vodafone Mobile Connect also uses Bytemobile Web Configurator service.
The internet download manager is also known to cause this issue.
Additional causes may be a damaged LSP Layer or missconfigured winsock settings.
