Seems like the bundle from https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/emacs-25/ has a SSL problem https://github.com/jcs090218/setup-emacs-windows/issues/9 I think jcs090218 (setup-emacs-windows owner) is right in that the issue, shouldn't be patched in CI if it can be fixed in the release. Or maybe the problem is in Windows configs and I should ask GitHub dudes to add something to the Windows test runner install. I'm confused D:
