Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Unable to download any video from iView on my Win10 machine (youtube.com is doing fine though), while all videos on my Win7 machine can be downloaded fine as well as from iView. All sort of stuff like a windows firewall has been turned off and my antivirus is not affecting this issue (as far as I understand). Tried searching the whole web on this issue but still found no answer. What am I doing wrong on my Win10 PC?

Check your system clock, date and time. I can reproduce this error when my computer clock is 10 minutes or more either side of the correct time.

PS: I don't know why my computer sometimes gets set to the wrong time

Thank you for your suggestion which has led me to the answer - I had correct time in hh:mm but wrong time zone due to frequent travels and system time set manually to avoid automatic change. Now given both time and time zone set correct, the issue has been resolved!
