I have written readme instructions for Local-SSL plugin that I would like to contribute to help Windows newcomers. Please feel free to veto its inclusion if you prefer not to use it. -- Sunni
Readme:How to Reinstall the Local-SSL plugin
De-Select Local-SSL if running and shut down Desktop Server application. Find the local-ssl-2.0.27 (or other version number, say 2.0.28) folder/directory located in the ds-plugins folder/directory of xampplite, which is under C: on Windows. (Ctrl N on desktop gets you to the C: root). Move the current local-ssl-2.0.27 folder and contents to desktop. Rename for temporary safekeeping, eg. local-ssl-2.0.28-origin.
Download latest release zip file from here to desktop: local-ssl-2.0.28.zip
Extract this zip file to xampplite/ds-plugins
Run DesktopServer and start the web and database services.
Under "Enable Developer Plugins:" select Local SSL, which should now have the version number corresponding to the file you downloaded.
Click "Next" and then open your development website.
Your SSL certificate should now be working under Chrome and Firefox. You can now delete the temporary local-ssl-2.0.28-origin file saved to your desktop.
If it is not working, I recommend one finger of excellent whiskey and a visit to the ServerPress site for instructions on how to add the certificate to privacy settings, most likely in Firefox.
