    msftconnecttest.com safe or malicious?


    My internet stopped working for a bit, so I restarted my computer, and when I tried to connect to wifi, an edge window opened with https://msftconnecttest.com/redirect. It appears just like the Xfinity login page below, but I did not put any information in. This happened nearly every time I reconnected to the wifi. Every time I reconnect to my wifi it says 'connected, no internet.' One time I tried to reconnect, instead of msftconnecttest, there was a webpage telling me to check my connection but organized and looked like like an actual website instead of a browser error screen or something si

    msftconnecttest redirect not working on windows 10 public wifi

    Seems odd that I can get onto the login page on my iphone (which apparently does not use msftconnecttest as an interim step, but not the laptop.

    Can I bypass this msftconnecttest step manually?

    Hi:

    If that setting is already enabled, then I suggest as the next troubleshooting step might be Mozilla Safe Mode (not to be confused with Windows Safe Mode)):

    Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode | Firefox Help


    • Please report back and let us know the outcome, as it will dictate the next steps.
    • Also: please tell us what AV/AM/firewall programs are you running on this system?

    Thanks,
    MM

    msftconnecttest.com safe or malicious?

    Malicious voters!

    Yeah as I said, im talking about the case gallery, I am about to resend two of my cases because they were given malicious votes... given 1 without a reason... honestly whoever it is, you are a dickhead, if you are jealous, GET A JOB AND LIFE.

    Now I suggest we should be allowed to see and report these malicious votes...

    EDIT: Not only am I irritated it prevents my case from having fair votes as there is an "influence' thereafter.
