I use powershell and there is a couple of strings to download an archive via HTTPS:
$wc = New-Object Net.WebClient
$wc.DownloadFile('https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/download/v2.19.0.windows.1/MinGit-2.19.0-64-bit.zip', 'd:\Downloads\MinGit-2.19.0-64-bit.zip')
Result:
Exception calling "DownloadFile" with "2" argument(s): "The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel."
At line:1 char:1
+ $wc.DownloadFile('https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/dow ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebException
It doesn't work for GitHub archives but in the same time it does work fine for Dropbox for example:
$wc.DownloadFile('https://dropbox.com/download', 'd:\Downloads\dropbox-installer.exe')
My Windows 10 System version:

P.S.
I was trying to get some solutions from the question The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel but just got errors like this:
The term 'System.Net.ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet
Perhaps, it related to different environment.
