37 +For 64-bit apps:
38 +
39 +```registry
40 +[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v2.0.50727]
41 + "SystemDefaultTlsVersions" = dword:00000001
42 + "SchUseStrongCrypto" = dword:00000001

45 + "SchUseStrongCrypto" = dword:00000001
46 +```
47 +
48 +For 32-bit apps:
49 +
50 +```registry
51 +[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v2.0.50727]
52 + "SystemDefaultTlsVersions" = dword:00000001

59 +(see <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/core/plan-design/security/enable-tls-1-2-client>)
60 +
61 +`SchUseStrongCrypto` enables support for TLS 1.1 and 1.2, and `SystemDefaultTlsVersions` allows .NET to use the system defaults.

63 +These registry keys can be added through a group policy.
