How To Fix Web Browsers After Upgrading to Windows 10 Professional?

Reader Question:
“Hi Wally, After upgrading from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 8.1 Pro, web browsers stopped working. The browser opens but I get a Connection failure error. It is also happening on the Windows Edge browser.” – Karen W., United Kingdom

Before addressing any computer issue, I always recommend scanning and repairing any underlying problems affecting your PC health and performance:

Step 1 : Download PC Repair & Optimizer Tool (WinThruster for Win 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP and 2000 – Microsoft Gold Certified).
Step 2 : Click “Start Scan” to find Windows registry issues that could be causing PC problems.
Step 3 : Click “Repair All” to fix all issues.

Setting up weekly (or daily) automatic scans will help prevent system problems and keep your PC running fast and trouble-free.

Wally’s Answer: Windows 10 has had a very successful run since its release. According to Microsoft, some 75 Million activations of Windows 10 have taken place. This means that there are many happy users of Windows 10 out there, but there are some people who are facing problems with their upgrade.

Problems like the browser connection issue are rare, and correcting them is not that difficult. Here will try to help you solve the Windows 10 browser connection problem.

Problem

Web browsers are showing connection problems since upgrading from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10.

Corrupt network configuration files in Windows can cause this issue.

Solution

Here are some ways to fix the Windows 10 browser connection problem.

Try Using The netsh Commands
