TLS Security Question- Firefox,Edge and IE11
O.K. Yesterday I ran a DISM restorehealth. When I went to reboot, I also had updates to install (that I hadn't noticed). Since then I have been unable to go to at least 2 sites due to a TLS security reason. I mean the browser(s) just flat out refuse to go there. No option to ignore. I've looked at the Microsoft help site and others seem to have this problem too. I tried every "fix" offered with no help. Internet Properties > Advanced > Security and checking/unchecking every available setting for TLS 3.0, 1.0, 1.1 , 1.2 with a restart after each try. Nothing will work. Of the 2 (at least) sites I cannot go to 1 of them is for my pre-paid debit card, which I have set to get my Tax refund on. So I guess my question is twofold. What exactly is TLS? I know O.S.'s but am pretty shaky on internet/networking issues so laymans terms please. And should I be concerned about my Debit card site?
This issue happens with Edge, Firefox and as stated I even dragged IE 11 out of mothballs to see if any difference. The ONLY browser I have that will take me to these sites is Vivaldi. I will not use Chrome so don't know if its affected. Any ideas?
