MEdge not working properly

Windows Desktop Windows 10
1

Ok, this might sound like crazy talk but it really happens to me! I’ve set Edge as my main browser and ever since then, I get the same problem – I open a new tab, type in the website and then get this message:

Hmm, we can’t reach this page.

Try this

•Make sure you’ve got the right URL

•Refresh the page

•Search for what you want

If I happen to click the last (third option), the tab opens in Bing. Yeah. How do I get this fixed?

  1. Check your network connectivity.
    Eg : Go to CMD and type ping 8.8.8.8
  2. Change your Proxy setting to Automatic

Hi @RobertsW,

This is one of the problems that has been present since the earliest versions of Windows 10 and Microsoft Edge is the error message “ Hmm, we can’t reach this page ,” which prevents users from connecting to certain webpages.

There is not an exact reason for this error so check this article which has deep investigation and the feedback collected from the community users. Hmm, we can’t reach this page error in Microsoft Edge [FULL GUIDE]

Hope this helps

  1. Go to Services tab, check the box for Hide all Microsoft services . Click the Disable all button.

  1. Go to Startup tab and click Open Task Manager .

  1. Select each item on the list and click Disable .

  1. Close your Task Manager and restart your computer.

  2. If Edge still opens and closes unexpectedly in a few seconds, move on to see if the steps below help.

Step 2: Reinstall through PowerShell

If your Edge browser isn’t installed correctly, not working or opening problem like this could happen. To fix it, you can reinstall Microsoft Edge:

  1. On your keyboard, press the Windows key and S at the same time, then type powershell . Right-click Windows PowerShell and select Run as administrator .

When prompted with the administrator permission, click Yes to continue.

  1. In the PowerShell window, copy and paste in the following command:
