Windows 10: security bug

Why does micorsoft insist on trying to send me a "security code" via an old, defunct email address, rather than my active gmail account, which I use for login and communications. Then, when I tell Microsoft to send me the code vis text (still no idea why it won't send it to my active email account), it tells me I have to wait for a month. To make matters worse, what I am trying to do is to clear my private information (browsing history et al) from the cloud, and to be sure that Microsoft spyware (Cortana) is not saving any other data either.

Corporate Security Solution

That made me so facepalm. Some people have absolutely no clue. I hope they don't take you for granted with all this you're doing for them.

SonicWall is a good security product, so Mindweaver's suggestion sounds like a good one and should make for a rather bigger baby step. Let's hope they take it.

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.
