postman-proxy-ca.crt file not showing up, even tho OpenSSL is installed

I recently discovered the postman proxy as an useful tool to reverse engineer an API, but the API which I want to reverse engineer uses https and not just http, so I have to install a certificate, which I was trying to do using this tutorial, which explains that you have to install OpenSSL, which I then did, I also set the system variable and the installation of OpenSSL worked, which I tested using

> openssl version
OpenSSL 3.0.0 7 sep 2021 (Library: OpenSSL 3.0.0 7 sep 2021)

and I restarted the postman app. Then I opened %APPDATA%\Postman\proxy, but there was only the certificates directory, in which the only file is cert.json which is just an empty json file, only containing {} . Am I doing something wrong, or what is the problem with the postman-proxy-ca.crt file not showing up?

I am using windows 10 with OpenSSL 3.0.0 and the Postman app version 8.12.2.

For anyone having the same problem, it was because I installed OpenSSL 3.0, which came out eight days before I asked this, but it only works with OpenSSL 1.1.1, which is the other supported version of OpenSSL. So the solution is to install the older version, 1.1.1.
