I have PMPC on a Win 2012R2 and I cannot download e.g. the Tableau Update, because my 2012R2 and the tableau.com server have no TLS ciphers in common.
https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=www.tableau.com&hideResults=on
tableau.com offers three ciphers and none of them is available to 2021R2 (IE, Powershell)
PS C:\> Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing https://www.tableau.com
Invoke-WebRequest : The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.

Is there a way to use Firefox for downloading content?
Good Morning,
Unfortunately, due to Techsmith only allowing certain TLS Ciphers you will be unable to download on a Win2012R2 server. These installers will require a manual download then you can copy them into your local repository for the publisher to push out from there.
We have this detailed on our known issues page, you can find more information here - https://patchmypc.com/known-issues-and-considerations-when-using-patch-my-pc?fbclid=IwAR0nYzW6Mi-N4IDPp1YLSW0oY3wTSPYtGxggi_hysSMvdtv8vdEJ771-Hts
