NuGet SSL/TLS error after upgrading from VS2015 to VS2019

I'm modernizing a legacy project that was still being built using the "Visual Studio 2015" image. I changed that to "Visual Studio 2019" and now my build fails. It seems it can't restore any NuGet package:

"https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json: Unable to load the service index for source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json.
  An error occurred while sending the request.
  The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel.
  The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure."

If I rebuild a previous commit (which uses VS2015), I see it uses the NuGet v2 feed and these do succeed.

When I build locally on my machine, my VS2019 uses the v3 feed too, and without errors.

I've Googled around, but can't seem to find any others who have this issue recently.

   Hi Peter,

   Last year there was a fix for failing NuGet. You might still have it in your build configuration, something like:

   [System.IO.File]::AppendAllText("C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts", "`n93.184.221.200`tapi.nuget.org")
   

   This fix is not needed anymore.

   That seems to be it, thanks.
