SOLVED Edge Browser has no connectivity

[Vapok]

Folks,

Having a slight concerning issue. After the upgrade, Microsoft Edge has ZERO internet visibility. When you try to go to ANY URL it spins, spins, then adds "(Not Responding)" for five seconds

and then says "Hmm, we can't reach this page."

All other browsers, INCLUDING IE 11, work fine. All other internet facing applications also work fine.

Help?

Make sure you are fully updated with MS updates.

Make sure you are fully updated with MS updates.

I really appreciate the reply. Unfortunately, I have already made sure that all Windows Updates are installed and patched. Everything is patched up.

Bump.

Okay.. so definitive resolution.

If the Windows Service "DNS Client" is turned off, disabled, or not running... Microsoft Edge will not resolve DNS entries.

I enabled and started the Service (It ended up being Disabled after the upgrade) and Microsoft Edge worked perfectly.

Vapok,
Your suggestion to check the DNS client was the correct answer here for me.
MSIE was working but MS Edge was not before that.
DNS Client was Disabled (checking in Task Manager)...
I used Open Services at bottom of Task Manager
I set it to AUTOMATIC and then it was started.

Question: WHAT would have caused the DNS client to be disabled in the first place?
When I first installed Win 10 (Upgrade to Win 7 Ultimate) EDGE worked AOK and then somehow stopped?
WTF?
