Windows 10: This Page Can't Be Displayed

I am not an IT guy so please forgive me if I don't use proper terminology.
We have a fuel pump that I need to access to get mileages off of. It only works with IE. I log into it with an IP address. It worked fine not long ago and then something updated and it started giving me "Page can't be Displayed".
I have completely reset IE. I've tried adding to trusted sites. I've lowered all security settings. The person I spoke with at the company that designed the pump software had me update Adobe and Silverlight which neither helped. I've tried everything I can think of to get it to come up.
I can ping the IP address and that works fine. I can also access it with google chrome. I can't however do anything with chrome because its designed for IE. I was also was able to access it from a windows 7 computer we had here until someone updated it and I lost access on that as well.
I'm guessing there just some stupid setting that enabled during a recent patch.
Any help is greatly appreciated

:)

Did you get the Anniversary Update (aka Feature update to 1607) about the same time? I may be that IE11 is no longer identifying itself properly to your fuel pump. I had a similar problem with Yahoo Mail, there's a workround that got it working again for Yahoo, try this...

Yahoo says IE11 is an 'unsupported browser' since Anniversary Update

 

Actually I did that update just the other day. So no it wasn't that update. I have to run the software in compatibility mode so I know all about that. I can't access the page. Like there is a connection issue when I know there's not. I know it's some security setting in IE preventing the computer from hooking to the Fuel pump.

When I was able to connect to the pump I had the security warning about the sites certificate where I had to click proceed anyways. I'm guessing this has something to do with it.
