IvanM1985, can you share us which update(s) you installed? What is your current build? Run winver command to find this.

Hi, I had the same issue and, in my case, disabling windows firewall allowed me to open all 3 browsers Edge, Chrome and Brave on my Microsoft Surface Laptop 4. So I narrowed down the issue to windows firewall. With windows firewall disabled I clicked "Restore settings" button in "Firewall & network protection" page then turned firewall back on and now everything works fine.

I hope this works for you.

Cheers,

  It's December 2024, and now I'm facing the same issue. I have Chrome, Firefox, and Vivaldi on my PC (Windows 11). But only Chrome runs without any problems. The other two don't open at all. I'm facing this issue for over a week now. Any possible fixes? I already tried disabling and resetting the firewall but it didn't help.
