Windows 10: Minecraft Windows 10 Unable to Connect to Server

Using common IPs in the "add a server" such as hub.mcs.gg or us.mineplex.com , my Minecraft client cannot locate the server and always says "Unable to Connect". Of course, mineplex is currently a featured server, and if I click on join server for mineplex in the featured servers tab, it connects me just fine. However, I want to be able to search for servers online, put their address in, and play on them!I've followed the instructions in the following threads to no improvement:https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/windows-10-wont-let-me-connect-to-any-game-servers/0722fa25-014f-

Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition: Unable to connect to world

Hi Angelito,

The game server error is one of the possible reasons why you're unable to connect to the Minecraft world. To help you resolve this concern, I need to gather more details. Kindly answer the questions below:

• Were you able to connect to an external server on Minecraft before?
• What are the troubleshooting steps you have done so far?
• When did the issue start?
• Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game?
• Do you have a firewall (or antivirus firewall)? If yes, try to disable it.

Meanwhile, I suggest that you run the troubleshooter for Windows apps using the link below. This could help remove problems with an app from Microsoft Store.
