Microsoft Excel 2016 professional https: The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure

[milesvet]

Hi all,

I am running windows 10 .net 4.9 (whatever the latest is) framework and excel 2016 professional on x64 system . My Get & Transform web queries to https addresses returns The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel. How do I resolve this. These queries were working fine a few weeks ago. 

Any advice on what settings to change in excel etc will be much appreciated. I am not much of a techie so step by step instructions will be helpful :)

Much appreciated
