My question: Trying to use Web version of Postman and have downloaded and installed Desktop Agent. From Windows Task Bar Desktop Agent is shown as listening on port 10533, but Disconnected. Logs show repeated errors while checking for update indicating there is a self-signed certificate in chain. Desktop Agent cannot be used in Postman web. How can I get beyond this?

I’m having the same error after installing the Postman agent on my work pc for use with a local environment. I will start researching this today and update if I have any success. The first thing that I am going to try is setting up the agent on one of my home workstations to rule out network or device security related to my company.
