I get the same error when trying to run mix or just opening VS Code with the ElixirLS extension.

Here is the full output:

>mix 
Mix requires the Hex package manager to fetch dependencies
Shall I install Hex? (if running non-interactively, use "mix local.hex --force") [Yn]   
warning: failed to load system certificates. SSL peer verification will be skipped but downloads are still verified with a checksum
** (Mix) request timed out after 60000ms

Could not install Hex because Mix could not download metadata at https://builds.hex.pm/installs/hex-1.x.csv.

Alternatively, you can compile and install Hex directly with this command:

    $ mix archive.install github hexpm/hex branch latest

There seems to be an issue loading the OS certificates on Windows, this is an Erlang issue so there isn't much we can do from here.

Please run public_key:cacerts_load(). inside an erl shell to capture the result and report the issue to https://github.com/erlang/otp.
