Do you have FIPS enabled? See https://www.howtogeek.com/245859/why-you-shouldnt-enable-fips-compliant-encryption-on-windows/ That can result in various exceptions as certain crypto algorithms are disabled.

It’s also possible to get certain crypto errors if you are running as a non-admin account (or one which has a broken profile).
