Initial "] update" fails on Windows 10 Pro with Julia 1.1.1

johnh suggested a workaround in an answer to another of my posts. It works in a try statement for my initial setup script.

using Pkg
try
	Pkg.update()
catch
	Pkg.setprotocol!("git")
	Pkg.update()
end

If I find an answer to the root problem I will still post it here.

Here is additional information for the computer in question.
