Garmin Express-Windows 10: Sync Failure- System.InvalidOperationException: FIPS

Hi all,

I am getting a "System.InvalidOperationException: This implementation is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms" error when I try to sync.
I am on a Windows 10 Enterprise PC with Garmin Express 4.1.22.0.
Any Idea how to get around this? I cannot change local security settings on the PC.

Thanks in advance

More details:

Exception in operation Garmin.Omt.Service.Operation.Software.UpdateSoftwareOperation.

superruby,

FIPS is an acronym for Federal Information Process Standards. This is activated on a computer through the group policy settings set by a system administrator. This setting is typically used on government computers or enterprise systems that use strict security measures. Garmin Express will not run properly on computers with FIPS enabled. You will need to run this application on another computer if you continue to get this error.

Thank you.

That saves me at least time with experimentation, as I cannot change the group security policy.
I can install and run open source software with no problem - so not sure where the FIPS encryption issue conflicts with Garmin Express.
