Windows 10: Microsoft Techs

Last year in December 2018 I had a tech support well what I thought fix my computer. He told me to disable everything Microsoft and it will

reboot and we will be reconnected. I will send you an email he said. So I did what I was told. My computer did not reboot. I could not get it to

come back up at all. After 2 days of doing everything possible to try and fix this. From checking all wires having at@t come out along with other

troublesome ideas. Finally I called a different Microsoft phone number. What had to happen was he reinstalled Windows 10 which took about an

hour to do. Keep in mind that at this point my computer was only a year and a half old. Now I have to actually physically go to Windows Update

to check to see if I have any updates. They don't automatically download on there own. Needless to say my computer has not been the same since.

Needless to say the security has been unbearable.

I have to say I have learned alot from these techs. But just a few days ago I called Microsoft and had some more work done on my computer and

this tech wanted to do little as possible. Someone had hacked my computer. I had to ask him to run a scan that they run for viruses. He proceeded to

say you know alot about computers and he seemed to not like that. While these test were running he said he would close the chat Window

and is it safe to say your issue has been resolved. I said well no not really. So after the test were complete I notice he had not closed the chat Window

until I had full access because I seen the mouse had been moving around. Later that day I had to call back with the same problem unfortunately the

same tech. I notice my desk top wallpaper had been changed my profile pic had been changed. When I called back all he did was sit there in dead

silence for a while. I said hello, hello no answer what so ever. Finally I just hung up. When I called back I told them what happened and just as I

thought when I was transferred all the phone did was ring and ring and ring. Now I just don't trust no one. Terrible for business and very unprofessional.

Then the next day I received a phone call from Microsoft and they just hung up. That wasn't no scam. Til this day my computer still isn't fixed. This guy will not transfer me to anyone else. My computer is a Windows 10 and I get messages acting as if it was Windows 7. This just really sickens me to no end.

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.
