Windows 10: I can't access any website or tab on my browsers, nor can I open any of my...

I recently updated my Wifi and Ethernet Network Adapters and drivers. Apparently I am able to connect to the internet via both options now, but that's clearly not the case. My network is displayed as connected, and there are no visible issues... until I try to open ANYTHING on my PC.

None of my apps will open unless I go into offline mode, and none of the browsers I have tried using to access the internet have worked either. Every single website or tab I try to open like YouTube, Google Drive, or customer support sites, I am always blocked by a notice that the site is unsecure, as well as an error message saying, "You cannot visit website right now because the website uses HSTS."

What is going on? I've tried looking it up and the only conclusion that I can draw is something called SSL Certificate might be untrusted? I have no clue what that means, or if it has anything to do with my issue.

I would be more than grateful if someone knows what's wrong with my PC, and could help me fix the problem.


For background info, I have a CyberpowerPC Gaming PC, Intel Core i5-9400F 2.9GHz, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 6GB, 8GB DDR4, 240GB SSD, 1TB HDD, Windows 10 Home.

Unable to access YouTube websites on Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge on Windows 10

Hi,

As you are facing issues with accessing the YouTube on Windows browsers, do not worry we will help you with this issue.

Provide us additional information to assist you better with this issue:

• What is the complete error message/ error code while trying to access the web pages?
• Does this issue specific only with YouTube?
• Have you made any changes to the operating system prior to this issue?

Try the below workarounds to identify what is causing the issue:

• Try to access YouTube in different browser and check if it is working fine. This will let us know if the issue is with the website/ the Microsoft browsers.
• Also, try to access different website on Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge.

Try the below troubleshooting steps to access the website and check if it helps.

Method 1: For Internet Explorer

Step 1: I suggest you to run the Internet Explorer Performance troubleshooter.

• Press Windows key, type
  troubleshooting and select it.
• Click on View all in the left pane.
• Click on Internet Explorer Performance
  and follow the onscreen instructions.

Step 2: If the issue is only on Internet Explorer and to specific website, I suggest you to view the website in compatibility view to check if the issue is confined to compatibility.

Steps to view the website in compatibility view:

• Open Internet Explorer
  and open the website.
• Click on Gear/ Settings icon at the right-top corner of the window.
• Click on Compatibility View Settings, click on Add
  to add the website and click on Close.
• Reopen the website and check if the issue persists.

Step 3: If the issue still persists, I suggest you to access the website in
InPrivate mode and check.

InPrivate Browsing enables you to surf the web without leaving a trail in Internet Explorer. This helps prevent anyone else who might be using your computer from seeing what sites you visited and what you looked at on the web. You can start InPrivate
Browsing from the New Tab page or the Safety button.

Steps to open the browser in InPrivate mode:

Open Internet Explorer, press Shift+Ctrl+P
to open the browser in InPrivate mode and try to access the website.

Method 2: For Microsoft Edge:

I suggest you to check if the Adobe Flash player is enabled on Microsoft Edge.

• Open Microsoft Edge, click on More actions
  (...) in the right-top corner of Microsoft Edge window.
• Click on Settings, scroll down and click on
  Advanced settings.
• Enable Use Adobe Flash Player
• Check if the issue persists with accessing the YouTube websites.

Hope it helps. Reply to the post with an updated status to access YouTube website on Microsoft browsers for further

assistance.

Thank you.

 

Tabs in browser

Hi Robert,

There could be changes made in your Internet Explorer settings that have caused the tabs to not open right away when the browser is launched. To set Internet Explorer to open several websites upon launch, follow these steps:

• Launch Internet Explorer.
• Open the websites you want to automatically open when IE is launch.
• Once done, click the Tools (gear-like) icon located in the upper-right hand corner of the page, then select Internet options.
• In the General tab, under Home page, click Use current.
• Click Apply, then OK.
• Close and relaunch Internet Explorer and see if the websites open right away.

Let us know the result so we can further assist you.
