Lately, I have been getting allot of Microsoft Sites that I cannot reach using Google Chrome.
You do not have to clear all your cookies, and remove all your saved passwords for countless sites you have visited.
1. Download ChromeCookiesView from Nirsoft and run ChromeCookiesView.exe.[7]
Of particular concern is Microsoft.com[1] site and Microsoft Download Center with 599.4M monthly visitors.
https ://www.microsoft.com/
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36179[3][4][2]
These are one and the same, just Download Center is a sub-directory of Microsoft.com
BLOCKED IN GOOGLE CHROME
Accessing those site in Google Chrome is being flat out rejected with the following error message
This site can't be reachedwww.microsoft.com unexpectedly closed the connection. Try:
ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED |
Solution : Clear you cookies for Microsoft.com Domain only!
You do not have to clear all your cookies, and remove all your saved passwords for countless sites you have visited.
The solution is to clear out your cookies for the Microsoft.com domain only.
Not an easy task in Google Chrome because you can only delete 1 cookie at time (bummer).
How to delete multiple cookies in a single step
1. Download ChromeCookiesView from Nirsoft and run ChromeCookiesView.exe.[7]
2. Shut down Google Chrome
3. For Microsoft.com and Microsoft download center delete all cookies for that problem
domain, in this case microsoft.com
domain, in this case microsoft.com
4. Done. Restart Chrome.
