After installing Publication Manager on a new laptop, users may encounter the following error message:
"This implementation is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms."

1. Open the Local Security Policy on the affected machine.
2. Navigate to:
   Local Policies → Security Options
3. Locate the policy titled System cryptography: Use FIPS-compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing, and signing.
4. Check if the policy is set to Enabled or Disabled:
   • If Enabled, this setting enforces FIPS-compliant algorithms, which may cause compatibility issues with Publication Manager.
   • If Disabled, the system allows non-FIPS-compliant algorithms, which can resolve the error.

Adjust the setting based on your organization’s security requirements and test if the error persists.
