Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We will need few more details so that we can narrow down to the root cause of the issue and assist you with appropriate troubleshooting steps. Please reply with the answers to the questions below.

1. Are you facing this issue on a browser or any other application?
   
2. Is your system connected to the Domain?
   
3. Which website are you trying to access?
   

If you are connected to a domain or an organization network, you will get this error when the site or the link is blocked by the network administrator, I suggest you to check with the IT department and unblock the link.
