Windows 10: Edge and IE11 - Can’t connect securely to this page

on Win 10 1803, new laptop (not upgraded from 7***) I am getting:
"Can’t connect securely to this page
This might be because the site uses outdated or unsafe TLS security settings. If this keeps happening, try contacting the website’s owner" when I try to connect to any Google address and others.
Some sites seem to load but the javascript is not loading.
I can access Google via an InPrivate window.
It seems that people have been having this problem since April when Win 10 17** was released.
Some have the problem on a new machine with exactly the same spec as others in the company; the others were upgraded to 1803 from a previous version.
Can anybody give me a fix that does not require doing a clean install to 1607 and having to install all my apps again?

Microsoft Edge TLS Security


After trying everything (not a lot of steps) listed in the Microsoft Edge support site, I did a wider search and found this very simple youtube video that fixed it immediately:

For those who prefer not to click links the steps are simple:

1. Click in the Cortana search bar next to the Win 10 Start button

2. Type internet options

3. Select internet options (control panel) from the list

4. Click on the advanced tab

5. Scroll down to the security section

6. Make sure the following are all clicked:
Use SSL 3.0
Use TLS 1.0
Use TLS 1.1
Use TLS 1.2

7. Click apply

8. Refresh the page that was giving the error and it should now connect.

Hope this helps, it was a 30 second fix after hours of pounding my head against the error with the Support site suggestions.
