"Something went wrong" message when adding new local user account (windows 10)

After installing the OS and being prompted to add a user, it disallows me at the password hint despite providing a valid password hint. 

Workaround:
It is related to how Windows 10 connects to the remote server using encryption protocols
Try this out:
Go to Control Panel
Then 'Internet Options'...
Select 'Advanced' tab...
Take the scrollbar to bottom...
Mark these options:
"Use SSL 2.0"
"Use SSL 3.0"
"Use TSL 1.0"
"Use TSL 1.1"
"Use TSL 1.2"
Click 'Ok' button...
Try again, the "Something went wrong" error should be gone...
