Microsoft Edge and Chrome show TLS1.2 Errors

Bill2755 · 25 Jun 2019

I am working on Asus Computer with Intel I7 processor 960 / 3.20hz with 12GB of memory. I have no problems up to a week ago when working on Ebay it stated my browser was out of date and needed to be upgrade (This happened on both Edge and Chrome). I uninstalled Chrome and reinstalled the latest version (version 75.0.3770.100) but, this made no difference. I found that I was working with an old version of windows 10 pro and Edge so updated windows to latest version (Edge 44.18362.1.0) but with no difference. I have spent two full days working with all the normal answers but, to no avail. I have tried the following;

1. Opened Internet properties / advanced and set TLS 1, TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 this made no difference.
2. Set TLS up in the registry through HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\1.0\Client and set a dword enabled channel to 1 etc
3. Tried reloading .NET after running Microsoft .NET fixer.
4. Configured for a strong cryptography following an article called "How to enable TLS 1.2"
5. Numerous other things all to no avail.

As this only started a week or so ago I am starting to think it maybe due to an erroneous update that has altered something in the system. Lots of people seem to be having a similar problems but as yet there seems to be no definitive answer. Does anybody have a solution that may work.

Hi Bill. Welcome to the TenForums @Bill2755

I might try resetting network and these five commands.

Start > Settings > Network and Internet > Scroll to the bottom of right hand side > Network Reset

Network reset can cause loss of wireless passwords and customized communication software like VPN's will need to be reinstalled / configured.

Run the following five bolded commands. Use a Command Prompt(admin) or Powershell(admin)

Do not key in info in brackets, there for your information.

ipconfig /flushdns (Clear the dns cache)
nbtstat -RR (release and refresh NetBIOS names)
netsh int ip reset (reset ip settings)
netsh winsock reset (Reset Winsock Catalog)
netsh interface ip delete arpcache (reset Address Resolution Protocol cache)

Hi Ken thank you for your advice, I have tried what you said but unfortunately to no avail. Do not know if you have any other suggestions or where I might go next? Ironically have 6 computer all which have been upgraded to windows 10 ver 1903 - 2 have this problem the others do not.

Have you tried another browser, say Firefox. If it happens on a third it is pretty safe to say it it Windows and not browsers causing issues.

While you say only two computers are having an issue is there anything about these two computers that would make them look different. Do they have a different AV product, do they have IE functionality activated, any ad blockers or other privacy tools installed.
