Somehow you managed to get it on your system.

The Microsoft site about the IdnToAscii() function, which is the only function cURL imports from "normaliz.dll", says:
Apparently there used to be a redistributable installer, specifically for Windows XP. So you can try with this archived copy that I was able to dig up:
idndl.x86.exe

That fixed it. Sometime after the June 2020 version of cURL you were using, the program got changed and started using normaliz.dll. You never stumbled on the issue because you already had that DLL on your system. Leave it to me to find that issue.

Most important: Dropping the Internet connection test would not solve your cURL issues at all, because a working cURL would still be required for the actual download of the update information. You wouldn't gain anything.

Well, that certainly makes the point moot.
Now we know what to do if this were to happen to anyone else.
Thanks for helping me find the issue.
BTW: I removed the other cURL directory from last year, so I won't get fooled again.
