Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. [crt.sh | example.com](https://crt.sh/?q=example.com)), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help. My domain is: [642f07948b0f.sn.mynetname.net](http://642f07948b0f.sn.mynetname.net) I ran this command: certbot renew It produced this output: Saving debug log to C:\Certbot\log\letsencrypt.log * * * Processing C:\Certbot\renewal\642f07948b0f.sn.mynetname.net.conf * * * Renewing an existing certificate for [642f07948b0f.sn.mynetname.net](http://642f07948b0f.sn.mynetname.net) Certbot failed to authenticate some domains (authenticator: webroot).

You miss the important part. You need to find another ACME client to replace Certbot. Certbot is dropping support for Windows. You may also want to debug HTTP access to your webserver. [https://letsdebug.net/](https://letsdebug.net/) ---
