I tried to download some videos from vimeo and this is what I got:

Am I doing something wrong?

Duplicate of #7309. A common cause is there are some expired certificates in your system. vimeo.com uses the following certificates:

*.vimeo.com (01:C4:C3:0F:A8:7C:68:83:80:10:FB:AA:51:8E:41:18)
DigiCert SHA2 Secure Server CA (01:FD:A3:EB:6E:CA:75:C8:88:43:8B:72:4B:CF:BC:91)
DigiCert Global Root CA (08:3B:E0:56:90:42:46:B1:A1:75:6A:C9:59:91:C7:4A)

If any of certificates above is expired, Python fails to verify it. It's common if your system time is wrong. Another common cause reported in #7309 is that there are invalid certificates in the system store. Refer to https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues/7309#issuecomment-167414048 for detailed steps. Note the certificate to check here is "DigiCert SHA2 Secure Server CA" (make sure it's exactly the same) rather than Google ones.

Sorry I have never used Win10 and I don't know where the certificate store is in Win10. This may help.

Any of the following:

DigiCert SHA2 Secure Server CA
DigiCert Global Root CA

And check whether your system clock is in their valid interval.

I searched for:

DigiCert SHA2 Secure Server CA
and
DigiCert Global Root CA

but I didn't find anything. What am I doing wrong?

What do I have to check with the clock? I don't get it completely.

There should be at least one. On Windows 7 "DigiCert Global Root CA" is in "Trusted Root Certification Authorities => Certificates" and "Third-Party Root Certification Authorities => Certificates". These certificates should come with Windows. If not, ask Microsoft guys.

As you said it's a fresh installation, this may be the answer: http://bugs.python.org/issue20916. In brief: Windows downloads necessary certificates the first time you visit the site in Internet Explorer.

That was it. I had to visit vimeo.com with Microsoft Edge.
Now it works. I'm a Firefox guy and don't use Microsoft and/or Google browsers, players, ...
Thank you for the help, even it was such a little thing.

Thanks for helping identifying the problem. It should help others on Windows Vista or above.
