CondaHTTPError or SSL module in Python is not available error when doing conda install. What to do?

Question

Python

I'm trying to install/configure miniconda. I download the installer from [ https://conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html ].
OS - licensed Windows 10 Pro x64.
I do conda install numpy
I get an error:

c:\ProgramData\Miniconda3\Scripts>conda install numpy
Solving environment: failed

CondaHTTPError: HTTP 000 CONNECTION FAILED for url <https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/msys2/win-64/repodata.json.bz2>

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.

If your current network has https://www.anaconda.com blocked, please file
a support request with your network engineering team.

SSLError(MaxRetryError('HTTPSConnectionPool(host=\'repo.anaconda.com\', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /pkgs/msys2/win-64/repodata.json.bz2 (Caused by SSLError("Can\'t connect to HTTPS URL because the SSL module is not available."))'))

.
pip install numpygives the same error

pip is configured with locations that require TLS/SSL, however the ssl module in Python is not available.

Disabling certificate verification
conda config --set ssl_verify no
does not help. Although, in any case, I would not want to install something without SSL.
Both miniconda x86, miniconda x64, and Anaconda 3 x64 give exactly the same behavior. I put it on Windows 8 x64 - everything is the same. The firewall turned off completely, all addresses work from the browser. I think the problem is still in the inaccessible SSL module.
Question. What to do? How to make command work conda install numpyon miniconda? If the problem is with the SSL module, then how do I install the SSL module for Python?
Thank you very much in advance!

Hello, I ran into such a problem - installing the x86 version solves the problem https://repo.continuum.io/archive/
