@PepeMedin4 Does your network require a proxy server to access websites?

[PepeMedin4]

@megamorf thanks for your answer, but no, I don't require a proxy server to access websites.

@PepeMedin4, the same happened here with me when I was using the default DNS provided by my ISP. I changed the DNS at the OS level (network prefs) and everything worked as expected.
I see that you are able to ping the server, but winget still does not work. Maybe there is something blocking this specific application (some rule, maybe).

[PepeMedin4]

Thanks @eduardodx. What DNS are using?
I am using 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as DNS, restore to the ISP DNS but I have the same error.

Maybe some rule like you said. Pls let me know your DNS Provider.
Regards

[eduardodx]

You're welcome!

I'm using NextDNS. With the ISP DNS I can't even ping the azure url.

Solved:
@eduardodx, @megamorf the error was that I just need TLS 1.2.
In my Internet Options for Windows 10 was check SSL 3.0 and TLS1.0.
I changed this configuration a SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.2.
And ready:

Me too. All SSL is turned on.

Hi @ huangsijun17
Is your Microsoft Store working? I remember trying to fix this, when I found the solution. Maybe it is another Windows error. Luck!!
