The help page for the MFC class CWnd is broken. See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/mfc/reference/cwnd-class?view=msvc-170. It hangs every time you try and open it. This is probably the most important MFC Help page and it hasn't been working at all for ages. I get a "Page Unresponsive" error message every time I try and open it. How do I report this to Microsoft?

If I wait long enough - 2 timeouts occurred for me where I opted to continue waiting, then it eventually displayed OK.
Did you try to wait one or two minutes (and press “Wait”, if it asks)?
Probably it is related to this improvement:
Thanks for the quick responses. I tried clicking 'Wait' when I got the error message. After doing this twice I got a screen that said: "Aw, Snap! Something went wrong wrong while displaying this webpage. Error code: Out of Memory"
Can some Microsoft person here tell the relevant MS team about this? Or if not, tell me how I can do it. Because I'm hitting this page all the day and I can't get past it. I can't even find a workaround quite often, so I'm struggling to reach important information that I need.
@Viorel: Thanks for the link about future help. All improvements very welcome! As long as they don't just result in broken pages :-)
To work around the problem until a solution is identified, try to access this page:
It's now on someone's task list to look at - but don't hold your breath!
