No https wrapper gets loaded

[DVS75]

When I use file_get_contents() to open an https webpage (into a string) I get an error message:

Warning: file_get_contents(): Unable to find the wrapper "https" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP? in …

My Apache and PHP versions: Apache/2.4.54 (Win64) OpenSSL/1.1.1p PHP/8.1.9. Windows 11

I have uncommented in php.ini:

extension_dir = "ext"
extension=openssl

Checked this several times and restarted the server several times.

I have searched and there is only php.ini on the disk.

phpinfo() regarding https:

However, stream_get_wrappers() says that:

openssl: no
http wrapper: yes
https wrapper: no

Please help make https working.

Thank you!

What the error log said? Maybe the openssl extension file not exists or have different name so it can not be loaded
