Windows 10: Dear Microsoft,

This is probably the best place to reach you considering this is a website for questions. Now my question is simple, I know that you are a big tech company, so big in fact, most computers are powered by windows. That being said, one of the most enjoyable things about windows is the internet. My question to your big corporation is do what you do best. May you please donate some of the models of computers, not sold or not delivered to stores, just a give away to people who need computers, like people in poor living conditions, that cannot afford these luxuries we have. That is my question, if this gets taken down, that is fine. I just want Microsoft to acknowledge the fact that they are a trillion dollar company but can still relate to the people who are not making the money, you guys do. Thank you for your time, have a nice evening or day depending on which timezone you are in.

:)

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.
