You didn’t change anything on your computer, you’re the only user and administrator but are still getting this error of “Updates are disabled by the administrator” ?
Following steps will help you to fix this issue easily:
Ensure you have administrator rights, you will need them
Use keyboard shortcut “Windows + R” to access “Execute” menu
Type “regedit” in the field to access to the registry editor
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\
If you see value UpdateDefault or DefaultUpdate, change it from 0 to 1
But now, if you want to send the same request to a server running on secured protocol (as HTTPS on port 443), you can’t use this method given that the request will be sent in plain text and the server won’t be able to understand it.
You will need to use the tool s_client provided with openssl. Once the tool is started, you wil immediately receive the certificate informations and will be able to send your request:
1
2
3
4
5
openssl s_client-connect www.python.org:443
[CERTIFICATE INFORMATION]
---
GET/index.html HTTP/1.1
Host:www.python.org
You will immediately get the server response with the headers as previously (in my example, a 404 error is sent back due to a non-existing page requested):
