Is there a current fix for this? Still unable to download SQL Express or Developer server. Unfortunately, I don't really understand any of the workarounds listed in the comments

Hello,
I will tell you step by step.

Go to your 'Search tab' on your Windows. Open as 'administrator' 'Windows PowerShell'. You will see a blue screen whit PS C:\Windows\system32> writing in it.

1- Copy this and klik on enter
Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\.NetFramework\v4.0.30319' -Name 'SchUseStrongCrypto' -Value '1' -Type Dword

2- Copy this and klik on enter
Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NetFramework\v4.0.30319' -Name 'SchUseStrongCrypto' -Value '1' -Type Dword

And now you can download 'SQLServer2019'
