web Pages not loading

Yes. In Microsoft Edge, insecure-connection warnings are controlled under the browser security settings.

Try these steps:

1. Open Microsoft Edge.
2. Select Settings and more in the upper-right corner.
3. Go to Settings > Privacy, search, and services.
4. Select Security.
5. Make sure Get alerts about insecure connections is turned on.
6. Choose the warning level:
   • Alerts you about insecure public sites (Default)
   • Alerts for about insecure public and private sites

What this means:

• HTTP sites are not secure because data can be sent in plain text.
• HTTPS sites encrypt data and are the secure version.
• In Edge, a secure site shows a connection icon in the address bar. If a site has no valid certificate or has an invalid, expired, or self-signed certificate, the connection is not secure.

If pages that used to work suddenly stop loading in Edge, also try:

1. Update Edge: Settings and more > Settings > About Microsoft Edge.
2. Clear cached data: Settings and more > History > Open history page > Delete browsing data > choose All time > select Browsing history and Cached images and files > Clear now.
3. Restart the computer and test again.
4. If security software is installed, make sure it is up to date, because third-party security software can affect browsing.

Important: turning off these warnings is not recommended. If a page is marked insecure, avoid entering passwords, payment details, or other personal information on that site.
