Hi,

It seems like that your Computer has an issue with OpenSSL if you have it installed it would be advised to reinstall or repair the application.

Let me know how it went, and if you still get the errors afterwards.

Hello again,

Also Open SSL is a shared library for games and application development, but since you only got the errors yesterday I would also suggest to repair the game/application you installed at that time (say uninstall and install it again).

So by any chance do you have steam installed? because libcrypto and libssl comes with steam too, The advice would be to reinstall steam and see what happens from there, if the uninstallation removes the ssl library from your pc and reinstalls it it might just fix the problem.

Yeah so i uninstalled steam, and the last two games i installed PayDay and Tekken 7 the problem is still there. Do you have any other ideas?

Hi,

Hmm so the issue is still present.. do you use MySQL for development? or .NET for any games? if you have .NET installed it might be worth a try to install the latest .NET package from the microsoft website or to repair them:
Download Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7 (Web Installer) for Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 Anniversary Update, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2016 from Official Microsoft Download Center

Also if you have any Microsoft visual c++ installed in the time when the issue occured would be advised to reinstall / repair them.

ps. just because both of them use a shared library file to access data.
