I' ve a definitive solution to this .You can redirect the download directory for youtube-dl to avoid this error :1. first locate your "settings.json" usually in "C:\Users<your user>\AppData\Roaming\youtube-dlg" 2. edit the last line ("youtubedl_path".............. ") and change the path to something practical like C:\youtube-dl 3. paste the latest youtube-dl.exe downloaded from this url https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/releases/
Probably you need to make the copy a a fresh .exe time to time to get the latest version but its straight and works. This is a way to manually update the library avoiding the certificate error and the lost of time .Enjoy

Seems that installing internet explorer 11 fix also the problem
