WJFFM!

That error implies that the version of curl you are running or the certificate 
store you are using does not include the Let's Encrypt CA used by Cygwin.com.

 From what shell do you launch curl?

Please run:

which -a curl

and ensure that /usr/bin/curl precedes /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/curl then
run:

$ curl -V
curl 8.6.0 (x86_64-pc-cygwin) libcurl/8.6.0 OpenSSL/3.0.13 zlib/1.3.1 
brotli/1.1.0 zstd/1.5.5 libidn2/2.3.7 libpsl/0.21.5 libssh2/1.11.0 
nghttp2/1.60.0 libgsasl/2.2.1 OpenLDAP/2.6.7
Release-Date: 2024-01-31
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher gophers http https imap imaps ipfs ipns 
ldap ldaps mqtt pop3 pop3s rtsp scp sftp smb smbs smtp smtps telnet tftp
Features: alt-svc AsynchDNS brotli gsasl GSS-API HSTS HTTP2 HTTPS-proxy IDN IPv6 
Kerberos Largefile libz NTLM PSL SPNEGO SSL threadsafe TLS-SRP UnixSockets zstd

and check you get the same output as above, then run:

cygcheck -c ca-certificates ca-certificates-letsencrypt curl cygwin \
libbrotlidec1 libcurl4 libgsasl18 libgssapi_krb5_2 libidn2_0 libnghttp2_14 \
libopenldap2 libpsl5 libssh2_1 libssl3 libzstd1 zlib0

and ensure all packages show Status OK.

If that is the case, please follow the problem reporting guidelines below, and 
attach the output from running

cygcheck -hrsv > cygcheck-hrsv.log

as a text attachment to your reply.
