Hmmm ... I followed that link and am looking on the right at my configuration and I don't even have SSL at all. But, I am now wondering what is running that shouldn't be, so thank you for the link and I will do more research. Hahaha ... just when I thought I removed all the telemetry from my system; yet another surprise. Actually, nothing surprises me anymore with m$ :unsure:

I also followed the link and didn't find an SSL option. But I found this in the registry editor:

Thank again:

Same here and all are empty undefined keys execpt for:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Ciphers\RC4 128/128 (disabled)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Ciphers\Triple DES 168/168 (disabled)

Otherwise they are at defaults .. so good to know this as I wasn't aware until you mentioned it.

I have now activated all ciphers. Despite this, not more appears on SSLLabs.

That tutorial is for Windows 7. I don't think Windows XP has that capability from the group policy editor.

Right. It works as of Vista.

What do you mean by this?

This is the same page. Unfortunately, this no longer works. I don't understand that https://fe2.ws.microsoft.com works and https://fe2.update.microsoft.com doesn't show the page. It's about the https. I think https://fe2.ws.microsoft.com uses other cipher suites
