Do you have gnutls-cli.exe on your system?  If so, is it per chance a
Cygwin build of gnutls-cli?

Is your Emacs built with GnuTLS support, and if so, do you have the
GnuTLS DLL installed somewhere where Emacs can find it?

When Emacs uses the gnutls-cli program, it communicates with it via
signals, that don't work on Windows, so Emacs waits for gnutls-cli
indefinitely.  So on Windows, the only way to open TLS connection is
to have Emacs built with GnuTLS support.
