Lack of support for Certbot on Windows is a thing.
The Certbot has discontinued support for Windows. You're better off using one of the other Windows ACME clients. See e.g. ACME Client Implementations - Let's Encrypt for a probably not complete list of ACME clients.
A more curated list of Windows alternatives are
- Certify the Web (gui) https://certifytheweb.com/
- posh-acme (powershell) Home - Posh-ACME
- simple-acme (command line) https://simple-acme.com/
See the EFF's announcement for Certbot: Certbot Discontinuing Windows Beta Support in 2024
Please don't be offended but just checking @rogerfgay are you a real person or AI? The profile page says you read 25 threads in 5 mins which is quite good going, your question was also ambiguously short enough that it could pass as a disinterested user or a purposefully succinct AI.
I am human. Although succinct, responses suggest that my comment was easily understood.
I read 25 threads in 5 mins? I have no idea what that means. I'm only human.
Cool, just checking.
