Can't open any browser on pc (error)

Question

Whenever I open a browser I redirected to a error page with this error tag.

ERR_SSL_KEY_USAGE_INCOMPATIBLE

Its been happening for a long time now. I was able to use firefox for some reason but even that would freeze up from time to time. I would appreciate any help.

Hello,

Here are a few things to consider:

1.Check Your System Date & Time: open Settings, go to Time & Language > Date & Time.  Make sure Set time automatically is turned ON.  Restart your PC and check if browsers work.  

2.Clear SSL Certificates: 

• Press Win + R, type inetcpl.cpl.  
• Go to the Content tab.  
• Click Clear SSL State.  
• Restart your computer and try opening a browser again.  

  3.Reset Your Network Settings: run netsh winsock reset and ipconfig /flushdns In CMD (Admin)

4.Temporarily Disable Antivirus or VPN: If you have any third-party antivirus , try disabling it and check if browsers work.  

5.Try a Different Internet Connection: If possible, connect your PC to a different Wi-Fi networkor use a mobile hotspot.  If browsers work on another network, the issue may be with your router or ISP.  

6. Create a New User Account: if nothing works, try using a new user account. If this fixes the issue, your old account might be corrupt.
