New certificate

Ok, here is another strange item in my life of Sharepoint 2010 Enterprise.....

The certificate for my sharepoint expired.....no big deal, I made a new one, set it up in IIS  (bindings)

Life was all happy and jolly again.....until

Until I restart the server  (windows updates)

upon reboot, I try to go to sharepoint....instant fail   (Page cannot be displayed)  instant as in, it doesn't even try

no errors in ANY log, not even a (no, i dont wanna)

the fix:

Go to IIS, change the bindings to any other cert, click OK

edit bindings again, set it to the correct cert...... back to being happy and jolly.

Any ideas on that one??

(yes, i even waited a good 10 to 15 min after reboot)

but when I do the quick cert swap back and forth, it works just fine and dandy
