It's been a while since I've looked at cross-signing, but that may not
be enough information to prove that it's the "correct" version of the
intermediate. You'd need to know the Issuer, not just the Subject, for
all the intermediates that were given to the client. (It may not match
the one they have linked on their support page.)

Theserver sends the "Microsoft RSA Root Certificate Authority 2017" root.

To me, that only makes me more suspicious that the chain the server is
sending you may not be the chain you're expecting. Especially since
you mentioned on the other thread that the MS root is working and the
DigiCert root is not.

I'm not aware of any validation issues with 1.1.1k, for what it's
worth. If upgrading helps, great! -- but I wouldn't be surprised if it
didn't.

Yeah, if at all possible, that'd make it easier to point at any
glaring problems.
