    IE11 on my Windows 8.1 Pro install has a problem connecting to a number of sites. Get "Page can't be found" when trying to get to Google. Many of my favorites simply time out. This has been going on for the past week.

    I'm dual booting with a Windows 10 preview and IE11 works fine with it.

    Any ideas?

    Hi buzzmag. Do any other web browsers such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox work on your Windows 8.1 system?

    You can try Resetting Internet Explorer settings and see if that solves the issue.

    Never mind. My fault. Just remembered I used a suggested IE tweak that caused the problem. Deleted the registry tweak and problem has gone away.

    What registry tweak was it. I'm interested in things like that.
