I was going to update the PowerCLI module to version 12.5 once I received the above error. The first thing I was going to try was to upgrade the PowerShellGet version. This resulted in the same error.
To solve this issue we need to force PowerShell to use TLS 1.2 at least. To do so we need to run this command:
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12There is no output after running the command. To make sure “the fix” was successful, run this command:
Find-Module PSWindowsUpdate
And after fixing PowerShell Gallery issue installation of PowerCLI and rest of VMware modules went through
