 * [@chinablueart](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chinablueart/) – Are you 
   using the most current version of WordPress?
 * Have you tried downloading the plugin from WordPress.org and manually installing
   it instead of updating?

 * I am having same problem on two completely separate blogs, both hosted by Yahoo.
   The blogs have been running for over a year, with no problems. They both started
   this failure to update plugins within the last couple of weeks. I also get the
   error Download failed. error:0D0890A1:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_verify:unknown
   message digest algorithm
    Yahoo claims they haven’t changed anything. The problems
   does seem to coincide with the update of WordPress to ver. 4.3. I tried disabling
   all my plugins and then updating them individually and as a group, both while
   disabled and after enabling them one at a time. No difference. Same error. Tried
   to reinstall WordPress, and got the same error. I have not tried to install anything
   manually, because I am not sufficiently sophisticated to be able to do that. 
   Besides, even if I could learn how, I don’t want to be manually installing updates
   for all my plugins, that is the reason I use the darn dashboard. I also have 
   no idea how to code.
