[SOLVED (I GAVE UP)] This page can't be displayed" on all https pages Win10 IE11

[maxeman5126]

          Every time I try to open any https:// pages through internet explorer I get presented with "This page can't be displayed" these pages work fine in Chrome browser, but doesn't work on Avast Safezone browser or IE. I have tried toggling all TSL and HTTP settings on and off in Internet options, I have also tried deleting Avast and Malwarebites. I'm running Windows 10 Pro Version 1607  64bit and IE11 Version 11.0.40 This problem started 3 days ago, initially all https:// sites weren't working for any browsers, I deleted chrome and reinstalled from a USB (got the file from a separate computer) and it works fine now on chrome. This also somehow prevents me from using Skype, Discord, and many online games, I don't know why, but I cannot connect to any game servers although the problem only seems prevalent in Internet explorer, not all browsers. I am open to try all suggestions aside from a full wipe unless it gets to that point (I'm about 10 days from breaking down and doing this)

Thank you in advance for any help!

(I have also gone through the tweaking - Windows repair tool and nothing changed)

Open IE - Tools cog - Internet options - Advanced - Reset

I normally check all of the boxes which means I have to re-enter www.google.co.uk for my home page, but resetting IE to defaults will get rid of any troublesome add-ons as well as resetting the security levels.

When a browsing problem affects all browsers then it can be a corrupt winsock.

Open a Command Prompt (Admin) and enter -

netsh winsock reset

shutdown /r /t 00

I sometimes use the Anvi Browser Repair Tool, but click on each browser icon in its left pane and check to see which repairs you want it to carry out.

I have find a solution of your problem

go to the the internet option of ie11 and go to Advanced and uncheck the SPDY/3 and that resolved the problem

Hello Daitrongpham, thankyou for your reply.

I'm pretty sure you are referring to HTTP 2 (I'm pretty sure SPDY/3 was only used in IE11 windows 8 & 8.1 but was renamed to HTTP 2 for IE11 Windows 10) screenshot attached of this in win8 vs win10. I have disabled this and restarted my computer and nothing changed(problem still occurring).

It was worth a shot, thanks for the idea.

Hello Boggin and thank you for your reply, I have tried all of your possible solutions and sadly I have no positive results, after my final check something new happened, when I clicked "Fix connection problems" on internet explorer, I was confronted with a window seen in the screenshot, I'm not sure what this means but I don't think windows should be restricted from troubleshooting.

Thankyou

Can you open a Command Prompt (Admin) and enter sfc /scannow to see what that reports.

[maxeman5126]

I've done /sfc scannow multiple times, never anything negative.

Do you get the same problem in Safe Mode with Networking ?

Are you using wireless or Ethernet and do you get the same on both ?

Win 10 has a Network reset option which perhaps you could try.

Start - Settings - Network & Internet - then scroll down to click on the link.

There is a more aggressive method and that is with the elevated cmd netcfg -d

This can change network adapters as it tends to do on mine.

I use an older Win 7 wireless driver instead of the March 2016 one that the Win 10 upgrade installed so I have to go into the Store to change it back.

One other thing you could try, although I'm not sure it would do it and that is to change your DNS servers in the computer.

Go Start - type ncpa.cpl and press enter.

Right click on the adapter you are using and select Properties - click on (TCP/IPv4) then on Properties.

While you are in there it won't hurt to uncheck the box for (TCP/IPv6) as that has been known to cause problems when left active.

Click on the lower radio button for Use the following DNS servers then enter 8.8.8.8 into the top row of boxes, tab down and enter 8.8.4.4 into the lower row.

Check the box to Validate settings upon exit - OK - Close and that will invoke the network troubleshooter which should report no problems found.

Reboot then see how they perform.

To restore to default DNS settings, just click on the radio button above that one and click OK - Close.

So, it is finished. I gave in and made a bootable usb, I've tried everything suggested here and many, many, many, many more, but nothing seemed to work. I wish I could have returned with a solution for anyone else who have had this problem, but I have nothing.

Thankyou for trying,
Jordan

I have two laptops upgraded to Win 10 where just one when I have a few tabs open, will revert to a blank window with a busy on it in one or more of those tabs.

I'm sick of resetting IE 11 to defaults as well as repair installs, but I know it's machine specific so I'll keep at it as time allows.

Good luck with yours.

[Boggin]

I think I may have solved mine.

I was using Google's DNS servers in the laptop but have since changed those back to auto - also uninstalled Adblock Plus.

If you still get the same after the reinstall, there are other DNS servers other than your ISP's or Google's you can try.

OpenDNS - 208.67.222.222 /208.67.220.220

Forget what they call these but you can choose two of 4.2.2.1 through to 4.2.2.6

Ping each in turn, take the quickest for the Primary and the next quickest for the Secondary.

After changing the DNS servers, open a Command Prompt as an administrator and enter -

ipconfig /flushdns

ipconfig /registerdns

exit

Then flush the browser cache.
