Windows 10: Cannot get to certain sites. How can I fix this?

I have a brand new machine, all default settings. I am getting this error:

This site can’t be reached

I've tried Edge, Chrome, and firefox with the same result on all. I can go to these sites on all three other machines in my house. I've been through this site's suggestions with no break throughs:

Username or Password not registering on certain site

Hi Scott,

In order to identify if this is site compatibility related issue, I suggest you to try running the site in compatibility mode by following the steps below:

1. Open Internet explorer.

2. Open the site and click the gear icon of the browser.

3. Select "compatibility view settings"

4. Add the site and reload the page.

Also, try disabling the proxy by following the steps below:

1. Press Windows key + R

2. Type inetcpl.cpl and press enter

3. Under the “Connections” tab click on “LAN Settings”

4. Uncheck “Use Proxy server” option and click on “OK”

Let us know the result.

 

Username or Password not registering on certain site

Windows 10. When I log onto a certain school email account, from any browser, and put in my username and password, it says 'invalid'. Yet on a smartphone it works as usual! The email site says nothing changed with them, and all other email usernames
and passwords work ok on all other sites. It's as if the site isn't registering my info, but only from my computer, and again, from any browser. Any suggestions?
