Under the Batch Service option, we are running a custom dot net activity, and that .NET tool downloads data from some APIs. It was working fine without any issues until Yesterday(for more than 2/3 years). Now we are facing the below error while downloading data from the APIs. I don't know why we are facing such issue suddenly.

Error: The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.
StackTrace: at System.Net.WebClient.OpenRead(Uri address)
at Import.DownloadSite(String url, String type)

The same .NET tool works fine in our local desktop machines(Windows 10 OS). Getting the error only in the batch account machine. So I think the problem is in the batch account machine.

Using the below C# code for downloading data from the APIs: 

WebClient wc = new WebClient();
ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12 | SecurityProtocolType.Tls11 | SecurityProtocolType.Tls | SecurityProtocolType.Ssl3;
return wc.DownloadString(string.Format(ApiUrl, type));

I tried most of the solutions suggested in the below link, and nothting works for me.

    Hi @KathiresanSubramaniam-1168,

    You need to Add HTTP Header "Expect" with value "100-continue". In your case, please add these lines of code before creating the request :

     ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = true;
 ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls
        | SecurityProtocolType.Tls11
        | SecurityProtocolType.Tls12
        | SecurityProtocolType.Ssl3;

    Hope this helps.
