Well I finally got Nook for PC working and it was a lot less complex than we thought. It was related to IE but it didn't need a update. All I had to do was go into controlpanel/internet options then in the advanced tab scroll down and enable TLS 1.2 Now why this wasn't enabled with the TLS hot fix that was put out some time ago is anyone's guess. It also proves that Nook for PC is just a fancy GUI wrapper around IE.

It also proves that B&N didn't do anything more than force TLS 1.2 on their servers. The protocol and file transfer system remains the same.

Another interesting tidbit, Nook Study now works as well! I had to use the "close the program while logging in" trick or eventually it gives an error about unable to verify adobe. But when I reopen the program it has logged in and I can download/read all my books! It is werid considering Nook study hasn't worked for me in a LONG time and TLS 1.2 certainly wasn't the issue.
