How to fix site can’t be reached error in Google Chrome

Lately, I have been getting allot of Microsoft Sites that I cannot reach using Google Chrome.

Of particular concern is Microsoft.com site which includes Microsoft Download Center with 599.4M monthly visitors.

https://www.microsoft.com/
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36179

These are one and the same, just Download Center is a sub-directory of Microsoft.com
 BLOCKED IN GOOGLE CHROME


Accessing those site in Google Chrome is being flat out rejected with the following error message

This site can’t be reached www.microsoft.com unexpectedly closed the connection. Try: Checking the connection Checking the proxy and the firewall Running Windows Network Diagnostics ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED

Solution : Clear you cookies for Microsoft.com Domain only!

You do not have to clear all your cookies, and remove all your saved passwords for countless sites you have visited.

The solution is to clear out your cookies for the Microsoft.com domain only.

Not a pleasant task in Google Chrome because you cannot see what those cookies contain.
