 If you run into errors when using the [Windows authentication broker workflow for signing in to Visual Studio](#using-windows-authentication-broker), follow the action listed on the error dialog to resolve or report the issue. Use the links on the dialog to learn more about the error or to see error logs.
 
-For example, if you see the following error dialog, you can resolve the issue by selecting **change authentication mechanism** to open **Sign-in options** and switch to the [system web browser](#enabling-system-web-browser).
+#### TPM (Trusted Platform Module) Error
+
+For example, if you see the following error dialog, you can attempt to resolve the issue by following the instructions [TPM error troubleshooting](/windows/security/hardware-security/tpm/initialize-and-configure-ownership-of-the-tpm).

+### Networking errors with Visual Studio
+
+During sign in, Visual Studio may experience errors related to the network which aren't usually Visual Studio product issues and may need to be investigated by local IT support.
+#### Error "Proxy authorization required
+If your machine or organization uses security measures such as a firewall or a proxy server, make sure you're following the
+[requirements to use Visual Studio behind a proxy or firewall](/visualstudio/install/install-and-use-visual-studio-behind-a-firewall-or-proxy-server).
+
+#### SSL errors
+SSL errors may come in a variety of forms. Some examples are:
+
+ - "The underlying connection was closed"
+ - "The SSL connection could not be established"
+ - "Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel"
+ - "An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.” (This can also be due to firewalls blocking the connection)
+ - "The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on send"
+
+These errors may be caused by the following:
+ 1) Corporate proxy or firewall blocking certain versions of TLS
+ 2) TLS 1.3 is enabled on the machine but network doesn't support it. You may try [disabling TLS 1.3](#disable-tls-13) on the machine to test if this is the case.
+ 3) Group policy restricting what SSL algorithms are allowed and this allowed list isn't matching what the server expects. 
+
+ The following resources might be helpful for troubleshooting SSL issues:
+ - [Azure DevOps TLS 1.2 transition readiness checker](https://github.com/microsoft/azure-devops-tls12)
+ - [Transport Layer Security (TLS) best practices with .NET Framework](/dotnet/framework/network-programming/tls#configuring-security-via-the-windows-registry)
+ - [TLS registry settings](/windows-server/security/tls/tls-registry-settings?tabs=diffie-hellman#tls-dtls-and-ssl-protocol-version-settings) 
+
+##### Disable TLS 1.3
+1.3:
+[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.3\Client]
+"DisabledByDefault"=dword:00000001 
+"Enabled"=dword:00000000
+
+ #### Connection refused errors
+ "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it" 
+ 
+ This error means when Visual Studio is trying to make a connection to an internet endpoint the machine refused the connection.
+
+ Common Causes:
+ - If the address "127.0.0.1" is in the error message this means a connection to a local proxy server was attempted but the local proxy server wasn't running.
+
+ - VPN connection - Try disconnecting from any VPNs and try the connection again. If it works, you'll want to follow up with the VPN provider or your network administrator. This includes corporate VPN or third-party VPN services.
+
+ - DNS - The domain lookup on your machine has resolved to an address which doesn't point to the expected server. This means the connection is going to a different machine not running the expected services and refusing the connection. To debug this issue, you can use tools such as [NsLookup](/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/nslookup) and compare it to the [Azure IP Ranges and Service Tags](https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=56519&msockid=29cb101f084a69eb165004b009d668ef).
+ 
+ - IPV6 - Some computers have IPV6 enabled but the network doesn't support the protocol. In this case you may see a connection refused message because the server couldn't be found. Try disabling IPV6 on the machine to see if the connection works. 
+
+ - SSL problems - See [SSL errors](#ssl-errors).
+
+ - Proxy or firewalls on the network - If there is a proxy or firewall on the network, it will be the first device the connection attempts to communicate with, and it may be the one refusing the connection. You can determine if the firewall or proxy server is blocking connections by asking your network administrator. Alternatively, looking at network traces can indicate which machine the connection is being made to and identify who's refusing it. If it's an internal network address, it means the proxy or firewall blocked the connection. If it's an external IP address, this usually means DNS, IPV6, or SSL problems.
+  
+#### Support for network related issues
+Network related issues are normally related to the machine or network configuration rather than Visual Studio. [Developer Community](https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/VisualStudio) may provide some support, but it's focused on features within Visual Studio rather than machine configuration. For network-specific support, the [Microsoft Support Community](https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us) or [Technical support](https://support.serviceshub.microsoft.com/supportforbusiness/create?sapId=4fd4947b-15ea-ce01-080f-97f2ca3c76e8) can be helpful.
