Network behavior preferences

Expand folder paths in UNC (Universal Naming Convention) format: Select to expand all paths used in the configuration to UNC. This converts map drives such as “f:\, to absolute paths referenced from a server in the format “\\server-name\shared-resource-pathname”. When you select this option, the next time you configure a task after editing properties and clicking OK in its properties dialog box, entered paths are expanded to UNC format.

Force outgoing encrypted connections to use TLS 1.2 or lower: Select to have the TLS level of outgoing connections of all native plugins limited to TLS 1.2 instead of TLS 1.3. This can prevent an issue where a 30 second delay occurs each time a connection is made, due to an incompatibility between various components of the HTTPS communication.
This setting doesn't affect custom plugins or OL Connect tasks. All OL Connect tasks use TLS level 1.2 or lower.
