I noticed the fix on the below thread for windows 7 but I am seeing it on windows 10, multiple boxes at my work and others reporting on gitkraken slack channel.

Anyone fixed this on windows 10?

Windows 7 thread link: GitKraken And Github - failed to get server certificate: The handle is in the wrong state for the requested operation

UPDATE: This is not recommended as all traffic will be send over HTTP instead of HTTPS.

This means everything will be visible (not encrypted) to anyone watching network activity. Please see the comment from cboittin below

Changing the remote origin from https to http fixed it for me. (Again, not recommended)

Disclaimer: I do not know if this has any side effects. If it does, please let me know in the comments.

How to change the remote origin address in gitkraken:

You can change it from https by checking the left navigation bar and clicking the 3 dots button next to the remote origin. (Image)

enter image description here

After that click edit origin.
Here you can see the pull and push addresses. Changing those from https to http fixed it for me.

  • I do not recommend doing that. All your operations on that repo will be sent in clear, which means anyone sniffing your traffic will be able to see the entire content of your repo. If working with a private repo, this is probably not what you want. It probably also opens up the possibility for some more aggressive attacks.

  • I'll edit the answer to reflect this, thanks for letting me now! (Or is it better to just remove it you think?) – Kerwin Sneijders Feb 21 '22 at 18:03
