> Finally got a fix. The Easy fix on this page didn’t cut it. [Update to enable TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 as default secure protocols in WinHTTP in Windows](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3140245/update-to-enable-tls-1-1-and-tls-1-2-as-a-default-secure-protocols-in) The quick-fix didn’t patch the Webio.dll and the Winhttp.dll in the Windows-folders. So I went to the update-catalog and downloaded the proper file for my system: [Microsoft Update Catalog](https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/search.aspx?q=kb3140245) Patched,restarted, works.
