  1. Microsoft Slowly Monopolizing Everything


    A few months ago, I woke up to not being able to use 3rd party anti-malware software Likely they were not allowing Microsoft to spy on us adequately without having my administrator rights removed.

    My 3rd party anti-malware software now conflicts and cannot be used on Windows 10

    Woke up today to not being able to use my 3rd party all-in-one printer I paid good money for because my 3rd party software is now unavailable, even if I uninstall and re-install it 5 times, troubleshoot everything several times over and do all the hoop-jumping that should normally have resolved the issue. Instead it forced me to get microsoft's scan app. I can scan but cannot print with my own printer.

    ***When did Microsoft get the idea that monopoly would end well for them?***
    It's not going well for Google right now with the vote of no confidence and lawsuits...

    ***I want use of my anti-malware of choice and printer of choice back.*** I know I'm not the only one.

    Let me make this abundantly clear: You are currently making my brand new computer and peripherals obsolete unless we bow to your monopoly and I never agreed to this in ToS not would I ever agree to since I already don't get a choice of OS Apple is too incompatible...gee I wonder why, Linux is about to have the same issues by the looks of it...

    ***What part of "Monopoly is illegal" is not understood by your Board of Directors?***

    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.
