Windows 10: Why is websites labeled “not secure” not loading?

After pinpointing the problem, I have discovered that websites that are not secure are inaccessible. I tried to reset the pc and turning off and back on firewall permissions but that didn’t work. I was thinking this was a bit flip because it just spontaneously started doing this. This also started right after I took a flight. Other browsers other than edge have the exact same problem. I installed chrome, and it did the same thing. I’m now thinking it either has to do with the computer or that both browsers are based off of chromium. Firefox isn’t, but unfortunately the website for downloading

:)

 

There is a problem with this website’s security certificate.

Step 1: I suggest you reset the Internet explorer
and check if it helps.

Refer: Change or reset Internet Explorer settings

Step 2: I suggest you to try deleting the browsing history in Microsoft Edge
and check if it helps as it stores the forms, passwords, and sites you've visited.

Corporate Security Solution

That made me so facepalm. Some people have absolutely no clue. I hope they don't take you for granted with all this you're doing for them.

SonicWall is a good security product, so Mindweaver's suggestion sounds like a good one and should make for a rather bigger baby step. Let's hope they take it.
