    Being locked out of my computer by Microsoft Security


    In the past I've been locked out of my computer by so called Microsoft Security. I was on-line when my computer literally was locked out. There was a number on the screen that I was to call. It was suppose to be a number to Microsoft so I called. They informed me that I needed a security program to stop viruses spam and other things. I already have a virus protection program in my computer. Earlier I received a notice that I might be getting locked out due to security reasons. Does anyone have a clue to any of this?

    Microsoft Edge TLS Security


    After trying everything (not a lot of steps) listed in the Microsoft Edge support site, I did a wider search and found this very simple youtube video that fixed it immediately:

    For those who prefer not to click links the steps are simple:

    1. Click in the Cortana search bar next to the Win 10 Start button

    2. Type internet options

    3. Select internet options (control panel) from the list

    4. Click on the advanced tab

    5. Scroll down to the security section

    6. Make sure the following are all clicked:
    Use SSL 3.0
    Use TLS 1.0
    Use TLS 1.1
    Use TLS 1.2

    7. Click apply

    8. Refresh the page that was giving the error and it should now connect.

    Hope this helps, it was a 30 second fix after hours of pounding my head against the error with the Support site suggestions.
