That's always a joy.  I was troubleshooting a problem that turned out
to be a support person finding a really old installer but it looked
like the interface was using Tls1.0 rather than the necessary Tls1.2.
That led to a trip to the registry where the various Tls protocols can
be enabled or disabled. The current recommendation is to disable 1.0
and 1.1.

 
Yeah, and some useful options end up hidden deep.. at least until a
youtube video or article comes out.

I have a now obsolete Server 2000 book that listed ALL of the possible
registry keys. iirc with that one if you wanted tab completion in the cmd
console you had to create the key and set it to 1. There were other
features that could be turned on iff you knew a key existed in the first
place.

That hasn't changed. In Windows 11 if you're in an Administrator shell you
can't access the network unless you tweak the registry.

So now I have to undo the accidental typing a capital letters a lot :-(.

And they got a white-list of apps you can install. IIRC, gummint IT had
a huge black-list instead.
