Any help would be greatly appreciated

What is the Powershell script which you were trying to execute?

Also are you trying to run this through Powershell (Admin) or not?

Well, I had the same problem. Set my Powershell to TLS 1.2 and it worked for me.

To test this :

1. Open Powershell (As Admin)

2. [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12

3. Try it again!

The solution mentioned above is a workaround, to solve your issue permanently

1. Open Powershell and check for supported protocols by using[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol


2. Run the following 2 cmdlets to set .NET Framework strong cryptography registry keys:

  • Set strong cryptography on 64 bit .Net Framework (version 4 and above)

    Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\.NetFramework\v4.0.30319' -Name 'SchUseStrongCrypto' -Value '1' -Type DWord

    set strong cryptography on 32 bit .Net Framework (version 4 and above)

    Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NetFramework\v4.0.30319' -Name 'SchUseStrongCrypto' -Value '1' -Type DWord

3. Restart Powershell and check again for supported protocol by using [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol
