Windows 7 x64
Win32 launcher 2.2.10327
Minecraft Java, Microsoft account
The MC launcher is unable to connect to the Minecraft servers:
Clicking 'Try again' obviously does nothing.
- This is not an account issue, I can access my Minecraft account through Minecraft.net in a browser without issue.
- It's not a network connectivity issue, everything else works fine. I do not have any kind of VPN or firewall that is blocking network traffic.
- It's not a temporary issue, it's been broken for some time (maybe 12 - 24 hours).
- This configuration has worked for a long time and suddenly stopped without any change on my end.
The launcher_log.txt has numerous lines like this:

This indicates that the launcher can't make a TLS connection to api.minecraftservices.com, most likely due to a certificate issue. If I had to guess, this is a Windows 7 issue because Win7 has problems supporting newer SSL/TLS features. (Though I have no idea why the launcher is using the operating system for making https requests, that seems like something it should do itself.) I can access https://api.minecraftservices.com/ without issue in a browser (although it's a blank page, as expected; but no TLS connection error) which conclusively rules out a network issue and points to a Win7+TLS cert issue.
The errors mention the Windows Event Logs, which I have checked and there are no messages of relevance corresponding to the timestamps in the logs.
