TLS security settings aren’t set to the defaults

The TLS security settings was solved by going to the Start command line and putting in "internet options", going to the "advanced" tab, go down the dropdown list to "security" and make sure there are check marks in : Use SSL 3.0, Use TLS 1.0, Use TLS 1.1, Use TLS 1.2, click on "apply".  That took care of my problems.

Please don't recommend using SSL 3.0. It's not been regarded as secure since 2014, and websites should no longer demand it. See here, for example: SSL 3.0 Protocol Vulnerability and POODLE Attack 

There are also serious doubts about the advisability of using TLS 1.0; most users will be able to surf the web as usual with only TLS 1.1 and 1.2 enabled. Some important sites no longer allow it: TLS 1.0 is Being Turned Off for www.nist.gov 

You can view a report about your browser's security arrangements by visiting this page: SSL/TLS Capabilities of Your Browser

Keep getting this error message when I go to sites that used to work to pay my bills.

Don't know if you saw my post about what resolved this problem so I'll put it here too.

I have to clarify that the info I'd received that I needed Internet Explorer is what was incorrect.

Also you can't just go to the dropdowns and change your search engine.  You have to first go to that browsers web page then do the drop downs.

It may be part of Windows 10 but I can't find it anywhere and it turns out that that info was not correct.  I didn't need it to fix my problems.  Anyway I've reported a couple different things that were happening at the same time.  I found somewhere that the problem of my 2 computers keeping the same wallpaper etc. as each other is an option you can utilize to sync your multiple computers.  A Windows update must have set mine to that as I knew nothing about it.  I found it and undid the sync option.

I also found that to change my browser you go to that browser's web page, click on the . . . at the top left of your browser window, in the drop down click on "settings", go down to "view advanced settings", go down to and click on "change search engine" and click on the one you want in the list. 

Thanks - I hope that maybe someone reading this will be helped because these things were driving me crazy.
