Answer 1

This issue is caused by Ssl.

Solution 1: SSL is not required. Since it is caused by SSL, we can turn off SSL by appending "SslMode=None" to the connection string.

Solution 2: SSL is required, server identity is important and needs to be verified. The server needs a internet connection to do the cert verification. Please note the crypto API doesn't update CTL for every process. The CTL is maintained at operating system level. Once you connect the server to connect and make an SSL database connection to the server, the CTL will be updated automatically. Then you may disconnect the internet connection. Note again the CTL has its expiration date and after that the Windows needs to update it again. This will occur probably after several months.

Solution 3: SSL is required but the server identity is not important. Typically SSL is only used to encrypt the network transport in this case. We can turn off CTL update:

Press Win+R to open the "Run" dialog Type "gpedit.msc" (without quotes) and press Enter In the "Local Group Policy Editor", expand "Computer Configuration", expand "Administrative Templates", expand "System", expand "Internet Communication Management", and then click "Internet Communication settings". In the details panel, double-click "Turn off Automatic Root Certificates Update", clickEnabled, then click OK. This change will be effective immediatelly without restart.
