bitcoin core – Running electrum wallet and full node on windows. How to confiigure SSL with self-signed certificate

I almost deleted the question – but the answer maybe of use to others.

I have BTC Core running as a windows app, I have electrum wallet running as a windows app, but have electrum server running under node… and btc-rpc-explorer running as a stand alone EXE — all on the same PC.

This problem was because I had forgotten to start the electrum server(!!).

So this issue is fixed, but I have a load more (the explorer isn’t showing wallet balances – it says ‘no transactions’) — but I’ll post these in the best place I can find when I run out of ideas again…
