I don't run on W32 so I can't confirm this, but please check that the
installed GnuTLS version is the latest before anything else.

If it still fails, open an Emacs bug or hop onto an existing one.

There were some gnutls.c changes recently by Paul Eggert that could have
caused this.  My changes for certificate validation are less likely to
affect only Windows, but still possible.  Ideally you could do some kind
of test bisection and tell us which commit broke your setup.
