Errors in the System Event log of Windows show:
Error,HOST_FQDN,Schannel,36887,"A fatal alert was received from the remote endpoint. The TLS protocol defined fatal alert code is 46."
Warning,HOST_FQDN,Microsoft-Windows-Resource-Exhaustion-Detector,2004,"Windows successfully diagnosed a low virtual memory condition. The following programs consumed the most virtual memory: SMCoreServiceHost.exe (5496) consumed 25758760960 bytes, mysqld.exe (1792) consumed 5066813440 bytes, and w3wp.exe (23972) consumed 1202536448 bytes."
