Hi there,

You can use the below script to make the registry key to its default value.

$RegKey = "HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\SSL 3.0\Client" # Container object
$RegLeaf = "(Default)" # Leaf object
$RegValue = "Current value" # Content of leaf object

Set-ItemProperty -Path $RegKey -Name $RegLeaf -Value $RegValue
