If your Chrome, Firefox, Opera etc. browsers are working fine but Microsoft Edge is being a nuisance, follow our lead and fix Microsoft Edge’s ‘Hmm, we cannot reach this page’ error in Windows 10.

It could be molded into something else, twisted into a completely new thing but on the other hand be brought back to the original thing. Such was the versatility they hoped to achieve and in that process many new traits such as Cortana and preexisting attributes such as GodMode of the previous OSes were smoothly refined into Windows 10.
