Windows 10: Microsoft Edge is connecting, nothing else does.

Microsoft edge access the internet just fine. Chrome/Opera/Firefox does not, other programs do not either (Adobe cloud cannot connect, nor any of my school programs).


I've flushed DNS.


I've done "netsh winsock reset" in admin CMD.

I've restored the computer to factory settings.


Before restoring computer I tried changing DNS port as well (to that one that was something like 8.8.4.8)

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.
