Issues with installing python libraries on Windows : CondaHTTPError: HTTP 000 CONNECTION FAILED for url <https://conda.anaconda.org/anaconda/win-64

I'd like to install the pymongo library but I'm getting the following error:

    (C:\Users\xxxxxxx\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3) C:\Users\xxxxxxx>
    conda install -c anaconda pymongo

    Fetching package metadata ...
    CondaHTTPError: HTTP 000 CONNECTION FAILED for url <https://conda.anaconda.org/a
    naconda/win-64/repodata.json>
    Elapsed: -
    
    An HTTP error occurred when trying to retrieve this URL.
    HTTP errors are often intermittent, and a simple retry will get you on your way.
    
    ConnectTimeout(MaxRetryError("HTTPSConnectionPool(host='conda.anaconda.org', por
    t=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /anaconda/win-64/repodata.json (Caused by
     ConnectTimeoutError(<urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection object at 0x000
    00000054D6128>, 'Connection to conda.anaconda.org timed out. (connect timeout=9.
    15)'))",),)

Steps taken to resolve:

1. Update C:\Users\\xxxxxxx\.condarc file with the following:

channels:
  - defaults
ssl_verify: false
proxy_servers:
http: http://sproxy.fg.xxx.com:1000
https: https://sproxy.fg.xxx.com:1000

2. (C:\Users\xxxxxxx\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3) C:\Users\xxxxxxx>
    conda config --set ssl_verify False

Current conda install:

               platform : win-64
          conda version : 4.3.27
       conda is private : False
      conda-env version : 4.3.27

A number of posts online simply reinstalled Anaconda, any other options apart from a fresh install?

This works a charm:-

Just copy these:-

1. libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll

2. libssl-1_1-x64.dll

from D:\Anaconda3\Library\bin to D:\Anaconda3\DLLs.
