This launcher has been a curse for years. Ignoring all the other issues that I stumbled my way through, the most recent problem comes shortly after updating to the 6.55 patch that released last week. The patch installed fine, I was able to log in and play for a little bit. Now, when I open the launcher, both normally and in admin mode I get this little text pop up reading:

A System Error Has Occurred: -2146697211.
HTTPS System Error.

I have tried a method of fixing it by going into Internet Options clearing the cache and browser history, setting the security zone to it's lowest, changing to allow for third party cookies, as well as the advanced options. Still the launcher persists with that warning. I am wired directly to the modem and the firmware for that has not changed and I have been able to play like normal before now. My antivirus is just the Microsoft Defender and FFXIV is allowed through the firewall. I am currently on Windows 11 Pro 23H2.

I would prefer not reinstalling the game again as that presented its own set or problems. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
