Windows 10: public wifi msftconnnecttest failed login

In my local coffee shop I get stuck trying to log onto their wifi. A connection is made to their wifi network but the login page doesn't display, the system gets stuck at a page called msftconnecttest. I've found suggestions on a fix including switching the valuedata in enableactiveprobing to 0 and changing the http/https configurations, but these don't work. I use Chrome as my default browser. Can anyone help?

public wifi msftconnnecttest

Hello

I continue to have problems connecting to public wifi sites which require a login page to accept terms. I am redirected automatically (regardless of browser I use) to msftconnecttest/redirect which goes to nowhere. No one seems to be able to help me solve
this issue.

 

Can't connect to certain public WiFi.

• Which Windows version is currently running on your phone?
• Are you able to connect your phone to other public WiFi hotspot?
• What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

Regards.

 

Comcast Is Turning Customer Routers Into Public WiFi Spots

yea, but now i can even collect comcast userid/passwords !

for instance, if you sit in a starbucks and create a "starbucks-pub" hotspot you will attract people to login. but you really only get unencrypted info. so if they visit any https page then it is pointless.

with a comcast guest public wifi i assume people who can login have to have a comcast account. i can capture their userid/password, get their entire account history, and target specific homes in my area. it also means i can use their credentials to login to any comcast public wifi spot across the country and it isn't like they would know. comcast is opening up a can of wormd with this.

for this very reason i never ever login to a public wifi hotspot. i always use a 4g connection and from there use a VPN for anything identity related.
