Hey,
After resetting my Windows 11 Pro laptop, Microsoft edge started throwing this error:
“Hmmmm… your Internet access is blocked.”
I tried the basics like rebooting, resetting edge settings, and even disabling the firewall and antivirus temporarily. Still nothing.
Has anyone faced this before or know what else I could try?

I’ve seen this happen after a reset where certain network settings get messed up. In your case, it might be the proxy settings causing the trouble.
Try this:
-
- Press Windows + I to open settings
- Navigate to Network & internet > proxy
- Turn off Automatically detect settings
- Restart your PC and try opening edge again
Sometimes windows re-enables auto-detection after a reset, which can lead to weird issues like this.

You can also try resetting the TCP/IP stack in case something deeper config got altered
Open Command prompt as admin and run this:
netsh int ip reset
That’ll reset your internet protocol settings to default. Restart the pc once it’s done, and check if the error goes away.

Turning off “Automatically detect settings” in the proxy section actually did the trick!
I also ran the netsh int ip reset command just to be safe. Edge is working perfectly now.
Thanks a ton, both of you!
