conda update CondaHTTPError: HTTP None

Question

Midway through running Conda Update --all, the update stalled. Multiple packages had been updated. Now, when I run conda update --all or conda update conda, I get this response:

(C:\Users\*****\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda3) C:\Users\*****>conda update conda Fetching package metadata ...  CondaHTTPError: HTTP None None for url <None> Elapsed: None  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. SSLError(SSLError(SSLError("bad handshake: Error([('SSL routines', 'ssl3_get_server_certificate', 'certificate verify failed')],)",),),) 

I've repeated conda update conda over multiple days, with no change in results. I can see there is no HTTP, however conda info --a shows channel URLs.

How do I get conda update to call a correct HTTP address?
