TLS 1.2 Not showing by default in Windows Server 2012 R2

schannelwindows-registrywindows-server-2012-r2

It is my understanding from reading this article:

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/dn786418.aspx#BKMK_SchannelTR_TLS12

That in the registry TLS 1.2 should be enabled by default on Windows Server 2012 R2.

However, checking the registry on our webservers, this key is missing?

I am using AWS EC2 boxes with the vanilla Windows Server 2012 R2 AMI.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I believe "enabled by default" means the key doesn't have to exist for it to be turned on. You only need to add the value if you want to disable it.
