6 years ago Thanks for the report.
Despite many people (including myself) using the latest fully patched Windows 10, you are the only person reporting this, so I logically have to suspect that this has to do more with something that is specific to your environment, as opposed to something that Microsoft may have broken for everybody.
For one thing, I certainly cannot replicate this issue.
From the error you are getting (Invalid algorithm specified), and from the code in CreateSelfSignedCert(), the only possibility I see is that, somehow, your Windows configuration disabled the use of SHA-256 RSA implementation (szOID_RSA_SHA256RSA), as this is the only way I see where you would get Unknown/Invalid cryptographic algorithm as an error.
I know that, for instance, Local Group Policy settings can disable the use of some cryptographic algorithms, though that should be for obsolete or potentially vulnerable ones, which SHA-256 isn't.
What happens if you try on a different Windows 10 platform?

Hello!
I am unable to install the WinUSB (or any other, in fact) driver for my RTL-SDR stick. My wild guess is that the latest Windows 10 update removed some obsolete ciphers/hashes/whatever, as it's complaining about an invalid algorithm:
(translates as "Invalid algorithm specified")
