Are you getting a pop up error or just seeing these in eventlog? If the latter just ignore them. These can occur if there's a mismatch in SSL/TLS versions available. All this means is your system will try the newest (more secure) protocol standard if it fails you get an error and it simply tries another.
Something else I just thought of. 2 days before I updated Windows I switched internet provider from Roadrunner to Spectrum. I don't know if that plays a part or not. I didn't check the error log until after the Windows updates.
