Hi JayCleve,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Does this happen for all websites of any particular website?

Are you connected to the Wireless network or a wired network?

This issue may occur due to incorrect network settings.

I suggest you to try the following methods and check:

Method 1: Perform Network troubleshooter

Select Start> Settings> Network & Internet> Status. Under Change your network settings, select Network troubleshooter.

Method 2: Reinstall Network adapter.

  1. In the search box on the Taskbar, type Device Manager, and then select Device Manager from the list of results.
  2. In Device Manager, select Network adapters > the network adapter name.
  3. Press and hold (or right-click) the network adapter, and then select Uninstall device > Delete the driver software for this device check box > Uninstall.
  4. After uninstalling the driver, select the Start button > Power > Restart.

After your PC restarts, Windows will automatically look for and install the network adapter driver. Check to see if that fixes your connection problem.

You can refer this Microsoft article to Fix network connection issues in Windows.

Method 3: Boot the PC in Safe Mode with networking.

  1. Press Windows logo key Windows logo key + I on your keyboard to open Settings. If that doesn't work, select the Start button in the lower-left corner of your screen, then select Settings.
  2. Select Update & security > Recovery.
  3. Under Advanced Startup, select Restart now.
  4. After your PC restarts to the Choose an option screen, select Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Startup Settings > Restart.
  5. After your PC restarts, you'll see a list of options. Select 4 or F4 to start your PC in Safe Mode. Or if you'll need to use the Internet, select 5 or F5 for Safe Mode with Networking.

      Run the following commands in an elevated prompt; 

  • Type netsh winsock reset and press Enter.
  • Type netsh int ip reset and press Enter.
  • Type ipconfig /release and press Enter.
  • Type ipconfig /renew and press Enter.
  • Type ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter.

Restart your Computer in normal mode and check if it works.
