How to Fix 'Can't Reach This Page' Error on Microsoft Edge

This practical guide walks through how to fix 'can't reach this page' error on Microsoft Edge, explains the main requirements, and highlights common issues that may appear along the way.

Check before correcting

Before you try to fix the error, you should check if the error is in these 2 cases or not?

• Case 1: The website, that server is down
• Case 2: The site has been blocked in your region

The first case is force majeure and you can only wait for the website owner to fix the problem. In the second case, you can use a VPN to change the IP zone and access the website as usual.

First, you need to run other websites in your browser to see if the problem lies with the website to be checked. If everything is working properly, run the website using another browser or another computer.

If other browsers and computers can access the website and you can't, continue reading the article and fix the error. In case the site goes down everywhere, it's not your fault.

1. Check Internet Connection

When you cannot access any website using Microsoft Edge, make sure you are connected to the Internet properly.

Check the Wi-fi or Lan network icon in the lower right corner to see if the network is connected normally. If the network has been disconnected, you must check the line or modem again.

2. Change DNS Server

Changing to Google or Cloudflare DNS servers helps you solve website connection problems, and even increase your network speed.

Step 1: Open Control Panel on your computer, go to Network and Internet settings.

Step 2: Click on Network and Sharing Center >> Change adapter settings.

Step 3: Right-click on your network and select Properties.

Step 4: Find Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and double-click it.

Step 5: Check the box Use the following DNS server addresses, then enter one of the two addresses below.

Google DNS

• 8.8.8.8
• 8.8.4.4

Or

DNS Cloudflare

• 1.1.1.1
• 1.0.0.1

Step 6: Click OK to save the changes. You check to see if the error has been fixed or not.

3. Disable IPv6

IPv4 and IPv6 are the two main types of IP addresses today. When connecting to a website, your connection will first find the IPv6 address. If IPv6 is not available, it will use the IPv4 address.

Although IPv6 is faster than IPv4, it can cause the problem of not knowing the IP. To avoid this error, you should disable IPv6.

Let's go back to the network Properties window as above. Then uncheck Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6).

Finally click OK to save the changes. Then, restart the Edge browser to see if the error is fixed or not.

4. Disable Microsoft Edge Extensions

One of the most drastic solutions is to disable all extensions in the Microsoft Edge browser. In particular, you need to pay attention to ad blocking utilities or browser-intensive access utilities.

Click the Extensions icon to open Manage Extensions.

Disable all extensions in your browser.

In case this fix does not help, you may need to reinstall Microsoft Edge.

5. Reset the browser

Now you need to reset Microsoft Edge to return all settings to default.

Step 1: Click on the 3 dots in the top right corner and then select Settings.

Step 2: On the left menu of the Settings page, select Reset Settings.

Step 3: Click Restore settings to their default values ??>> Reset.

Hopefully one of the above fixes has helped you solve the problem. Thank you for following the article.
