Unable to download the list of available providers
I got the following error when Visual Studio Code started up reporting that a package installer needed updating
It tried to run the following command.
powershell.exe -NoLogo -NoProfile -Command 'Install-Module -Name PackageManagement -Force -MinimumVersion 1.4.6 -Scope CurrentUser -AllowClobber'This produced the following Error.
WARNING: Unable to download from URI 'https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=627338&clcid=0x409' to ''.
WARNING: Unable to download the list of available providers. Check your internet connection.
After looking around it turned out to be that TLS 1.2 needed to be enabled.
