Self-hosted runner registration for windows fail

[Ankit-Sharma-ggn]

I am trying to register the self-hosted runner in our Windows server. While running the ./config.cmd command, I am getting error.

The SSL connection could not be established, see inner exception.
Failed to connect. Try again or ctrl-c to quit

After checking the logs I found errors related to connection close by remote host.
