Problem Description
- Error: 504 Gateway Timeout during the Hybrid Agent download step (MSHybridService.msi).
- Affected HCW Version: 17.1.3891.0 (Updated over the weekend).

- TLS/Crypto: TLS 1.2 registry entries are correctly configured and utilized by the .NET Framework.

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://hybridconfigwizard.azurewebsites.net/MSHybridService.msi" -Method Head
