anaconda - 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*****AppDataLocalContinuumAnaconda3) 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?
