Last night Windows 10 updated my pc. Everything is ok all browsers working. Then this afternoon after picking some stuff. I noticed that the GC gave message as title says! Pc connected to the internet. Even I use the Microsoft edge the ME keep crashing/closed by it self no error message.... I tried everything on net but still not happy. Other pc uses GC are working fine. Very frustrating.

TIA

Site can't be reached could be a DNS issue, you could test by statically setting your DNS server on your NIC or wireless adapter to Google DNS (8.8.8.8), Quad9 (9.9.9.9), CloudFlare (1.1.1.1), OpenDNS (208.76.222.222), and see if that helps resolve the issue.

Another test you could perform before making that change is to open CMD prompt and ping Google.com, Techpowerup.com, etc. If they respond, DNS is working and that's not your issue.

Edge crashing is an interesting issue as well, I'd recommend checking system & application event logs (right click Start, go to Event Viewer, Windows Logs). If you find something there, please let us know.

Have you performed a clean reboot of the system since the updates? How about since the issues started?

Check your PC for malware I just got through fixing a PC that would have it's browsers crash instantly as soon as you typed the address for Malwarebytes or tried to do a search for it so I downloaded MB on my PC transfered it via USB stick and then went to install it guess what it wouldn't install kept coming up with an access violation the only way to fix the PC was to reset it back to factory fresh soon as that was done malwarebytes installed perfectly fine from the usb stick yeah turns out it was a mining program from a drive by on some shitty site he'd been to told never to go there again

Just some or all? This morning I tried using a web proxy and like 3/4 of pages just showed this error.
In your case web proxy may be the reason. Lots of websites refuse to work under proxy usage.

No, I meant I was looking for a web based proxy (you know, the ones where you input an URL directly in webpage and it proxy-ed them) and 3/4 of their webpages didn't work with a "cannot be reached error".

Sounds really strange. But on the other hand I would not believe a website that sells something and is not available.

I can't even set the right time :) When I choose my city it shows +1 hour from an actual time so I have to change the time zone.
