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.

    you can do this method, not sure that this changes.

    disable games control panel, method that does not change :(

    (1) update time computer "internet time" or manual.

    1. update antivirus,wait 20 seconds or restart computer notification,

    run again , and again and again until no update notification

    1. run Windows update,

    2. turn off your computer and restart

    6) advice: execute advanced malware scan free in malwarebytes official site :

    Secondly, warning user novice, bad proceed is created big problem, learn before all the step ...

    reinstall windows , install antivirus software before, update and drivers full , error is solved (for me) , install all good software. created picture full disk C, no partial, to the root of an external drive.  error problem , restore picture ( 15 mins, save personal file before ...) . the error coming to 1 or 2 months.  good for security also. all parasites because the normal use is removed. computer will be the same than first day. registry etc.

    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.

    I hope for you success, i t's not funny this error. the time, another gives the best solution. I look exactly solution :) , I explain my experience since, days until it is useless. this method so hard, cool but, big update after.
