    Done full upgrade to 14.3 RU10,
    1. Backup db and svr private key
    2. Fresh install 14.2 RU2 MP1 on Win Svr 2019 (Convincing my boss to buy the 2019 license is such a headache)
    3. Restore DB and private key
    4. Fresh upgrade with SEPM 14.3 RU10 installer

    Thank you again for the installer you provided. Btw, is it possible to provide an older version of SEPM as well? I found an old 2003 VM with SEPM 12.1.4104.4130 (aka 12.1 RU4 MP1b) at my office. Appreciate it if anyone could provide the installer for this version

    Updated :

    Done upgraded old 2003 VM (SEPM12) to Win Svr 2019 Std (SEPM14.3 RU10)

    1. Backup db and recovery key from 2003 (SEPM12)
    2. Fresh install SEPM12 on Win Svr 2012 R2
    3. Upgrade to SEPM14.2
    4 Backup db and recovery key from 2012 R2 (SEPM14.2)
    5. Fresh install SEPM14.3 RU10 on Win Svr 2019 Std
    6. Restore everything

    I'm well aware of that, but the link is still active, check it yourself using Ping and Tracert.
    And also the update link is proprietary and only SEP can use it-- not to mention the LU URL is BUILT IN to SEP even in the newest version, so it would be a MASSIVE conflict of interest for Broadcom to suddenly close the uplink.

    What you're experiencing is happening to others, especially if running Windows 7 without current updates.

    If you're running Win7/8, following the instructions below should fix it. I'm not allowed to post links :rolleyes: so you will need to do some work for yourself.

    Use Google and search for:
    "Update to enable TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 as default secure protocols in WinHTTP in Windows"

    Download this fix file from the above Microsoft page:
    MicrosoftEasyFix51044.msi

    Select your OS from Microsoft calatog and download:
    KB3140245

    Install the fix file first, KB3140245 file second, reboot and that's it.

    SEP should now be updating as usual. You're welcome.

    Seriously? Who the hell are you? Your account has been here since 2017 yet this seems to be your first and only post.
    More importantly, the TLS thing was fixed YEARS AGO, and my systems already have that update installed.
    I'm not a fricken' amateur, I know how diagnose and solve an ordinary software/network problem. I do my fair share of digging only to find the least relevant suggestions and spend months chasing dead ends.
    Also, lack of update support on W7 is irrelevant, I have ESU. (Fun fact, I only joined the MDL forum because I anticipated a large following to ESU continuity, and I was right.)

    I would personally like to know if YOU even have SEP installed and, if so, what version and what OS?
    I myself do enjoy W7, but also experiment with 8.1 through a Server 2012R2 VM, and I can't tell if this new problem is localized to W7/8.x or if there's something larger going on.

    Thanks AnonMe,

    for me your suggestion worked. I'm on Win 7 and Liveupdate stopped working on June 10, and since then I did not have the TLS fix. Now Liveupdate works fine. Thansk a lot again.

    You done?

    I did clearly say "if running Windows 7 without current updates". Not that I need to explain myself to you nor do I care to. However, since you didn't give us all due notice of your self genius and expertise or your grandiose self-image nor any real details as to what you're running SEP on, etc, and considering this is not happening to any Windows OS on VM and/or Steel, including Windows 7, that are fully updated either via ESU and/or other means, it wasn't such a wild expectation that you might be running a Windows 7 rig and the same was not fully updated. Rest assured, I will not try to help you again going forward.

    To answer your questions, regarding if I have SEP installed and on what OS. I have/run multiple versions of SEP, among others, running on multiple VM's and Steel. I'm running multiple OS, from MSDOS 7 to Windows 11 Enterprise, also MAC, Linux, UNIX, etc.

    Yes, seriously. If someone is helped by my post that's good enough for me. Pay it forward, backwards and all that good stuff. I don't know why or how my post count matters in order to try and help people in the community, apparently it matters a lot to you, I guess post count must be the internet equivalent to the yard stick.

    Who am I? I am who I am. Who you are is apparently an angry and ungrateful person who seems to think they're smarter than they really are. Otherwise, you would have already figured it out yourself by now. };>

    I believe, we have both had our say, we should both agree to disagree and move on now.

    You're most welcome, glad it helped you and hopefully others too.

    Note: For the suspicious and skeptical among us, no gaemao is not me with another account.

    HEY! EXCUSE ME, I do not have a "grandiose self-image" nor did I claim any form of genius expertise whatsoever, but I absolutely tire of the unhelpful half-solutions people like you suggest which NEVER WORK, hence the reason I'm posting on an open forum to start with, as most available items that can be found by a normal search DO NOT HELP!
    I am so sick and tired of shallow-minded commoners regurgitating outdated suggestions from a Google search and then acting butthurt to the point of PROJECTING ARROGANCE when someone tells them that the specified "solution" has ALREADY been done and failed to change the situation. So don't you DARE call me ungrateful for expressing some degree of annoyance to an obvious repeat of painfully underwhelming search result.
    Frankly it surprises me deeply when anyone finds such junk suggestions "helpful," as I tend to burn through HUNDREDS of repetitive false-positive leads before I even consider opening a forum discussion.
    In this case I'm trying to gather information to see how many others are affected and whether I can replicate conditions of a system that isn't, since there is already a following here and the problem is recent.

    I find your accuracy on the date very interesting; June 10th... I never specified an exact timeline, just that it started in the past week or two. So, if you know that, then what else can you share? And if the fix that AnonMe claimed to be effective worked for you but not me (seeing as I already had it in advance) the big question is; WHY did it work for you?
