Thunderbird 128.5.2 esr 64 bit update broke SSL/TLS certs

After I did the 128.5.2esr update, none of my email accounts can get email with SSL/TLS on. It won't even try the server with SSL/TLS on. If I turn it off, then it can get mail. When I try to change to STARTTLS it will just hang showing checking server capabilities. Some accounts are imap and some POP3

Running Windows 10, version 22H2 updated 12/10/2024 OS Builds 19044.5247 and 19045.5247

Gmail works fine. I've tried the just about all of the things I have found online, but no luck.

Any suggestions? In the past I rolled back to a working version and that fixed it, but it hasn't worked this time. Would removing all of the certificates fix it? Didn't want to take that chance until I threw it out out here!

Thank you!

SOLVED! Well after doing a full removal of all files and then a fresh install, it works just fine again. It appeared that a couple of file were corrupted at some point and once that was taken care of, all is well!
