Hi, Charles.

What are you expecting to happen?

If you're expecting this command to change the system-wide default for .NET, then this is not how the class works. It only changes the session value, meaning double-clicking the PS1 only changes the value inside that script while it's running.

If that's the only command inside that PS1 then it's effectively achieving nothing since it won't impact any other processes.

You can test this for yourself using your interactive PowerShell console session:

In your first PowerShell console, run your command to set the session to using Tls12
Open a new PowerShell console session and simply run:
```
[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol
```
Observe that it reflects the system default value, not the value you set in step 1 (assuming your system default isn't specified as Tls12, of course.)

Here's what the example looks like across both consoles:
