Problem solved. Yeay, I can now play Internet backgammon after days of torture. I use Win 7. Clear the SSL State by following these steps.

a. Press the Windows Key and the R key simultaneously to get the Run prompt.

b. In the Run prompt, type inetcpl.cpl and press enter.

c. In the Internet Properties window, click on the Content tab.

d. Click on Clear SSL State.

I appreciate your suggestion - which may be helpful in a corrupted SSL state.

But in the current case, error 0x80041004 was just a simple game server connection issue. I was notified this morning about the posts given above. My short test on a Windows 7 production machine shows, that MS Internet games are working again - whitout any further interaction - a kind of voodoo. Or some Microsoft supporter hit the reset button on a game server ;-) - cheers.

    Having the same problem with internet backgammon - Win7 and also the old Win7-game installed in Win10. A lot of error codes 0x80041004 even after the game started.

    Now I installed WinXP (in a virtual machine under VMWare, just for playing) and surprisingly the old backgammon of WinXP had NEVER any problems even when at the same time the game failed to connect in Win10.

    No idea why, just another mysterious fact.

    hi,

    Yes, the idea is to communicate his experience

    not me, but another may be get an idea

    I assert that the servers, not the cause. clear ssl no resolved problem with me.

    since first message, many times error.

    after me restore the picture i created with windows already installed but virgin with significant software with no problem, three days / moment different error, 15 minutes after, time charged picture, the error is solved.

    No problem resolved server, time for me to load picture.

    first message may be random.

    curious coincidence that two days after, manipulation not precisely, resolved the error. original problem is the computer (??)

    joke on: error or strategy Microsoft try to migrate customers to w10 and the store and mini game 2 Mo of chite pay to win and the incredible subtraction data beyond what is saying.
