    From Frank@21:1/5 to All on Thu Apr 27 20:55:45 2023
    My Windows 10 laptop is able to access websites using Firefox and Chrome without any issues.

    However, my Windows 11 desktop is suddenly refusing to do so. I can
    download email with Thunderbird and Mailwasher but even Edge won't load
    any websites.

    I'm seeing errors like
    PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR
    ERR_CONNECTION_RESET
    and
    PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR
    but can't find a solution.

    Anyone got any thoughts/remedies?

    Possible fiddling with SSL sessions, are you using any proxy? some AV
    does/did do that sort of thing, but if a given browser doesn't get told
    the certificate it's using to MITM with you get errors.

    Thanks, no proxy but I'll have a look at certificates.
