You must have Windows update KB3140245 installed.
Then you must edit the registry tree as defined in the documentation

If for some reason you do not want to read or do not understand the documentation details about editing the registry tree.
They made an "Easy Fix" program that will do the edits for you.

It looks like this fixed it for me. I swear I had TLS1.2 enabled, and had the Windows update KB3140245 installed, but I guess I hadn't run the registry easy fix. I ran that, restarted my computer, and XIV is patching as I type.

I started a thread in the Japanese forums a couple hours after the patch after I could not update, same error.
I waited for someone to post something in the English or Japanese threads and it didn't happen so I opened a thread myself.
This same solution was also presented in that thread.

Running Windows 7 64-bit, and am happy with it, after I did a nasty install of 8.1 over 7, to see if I could get by with 8.1, but graphics drivers are not very supported on 8.1.
I then installed 10 over 8.1, it is a complete mess now. I am planning on nuking the whole thing very soon and putting it back to Win7 for now until I can figure out how to sandbox Windows 10 and Windows 11 to cut off the ability for Microsoft to turn my personal data into an advertising billboard for their profit, what has this world come to... monetization on your personal data everywhere without your consent...

I have already tested on a VM (a backup Win7 64-bit install on a MacBook Pro) and confirm the that TLS1.2 can be setup to be default.

Note: this also works for other software like Adobe software that has requires TSL1.2 support and due to software compatibility reasons need to stay with Windows 7.
There are still many expensive specialty commercial software packages that don't run well on Windows 10.
It is still true many specialty hardware like banking ATMs run on WinXP or Win7 embedded as it works better with the special hardware.

Thank you for putting up a thread in the English section as well!
