### How to enable TLS 1.2 on Windows

To enable TLS 1.2 on Windows for Agent Installation, follow these steps:

1. Open the Registry Editor by typing `regedit` in your start menu and selecting the application.
2. Navigate to the following registry key: `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\SecurityProviders\\SCHANNEL\\Protocols`
3. Right-click on the `Protocols` folder and select New -> Key. Name the new key `TLS 1.2`.
4. Inside the `TLS 1.2` key, create a new key named `Client`.
5. Inside the `Client` key, create a DWORD value named `Enabled`. Double-click on `Enabled` and make sure the value is set to `1`.
6. Also the `Client key`, create another DWORD value named `DisabledByDefault`. Double-click on `DisabledByDefault` and make sure the value is set to `0`.
7. Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

This ensures that TLS 1.2 is enabled on your Windows machine, allowing for secure Agent Installation.
