Yesterday my laptop started to throw an error whenever I clicked a link
that should have opened a website. “This operation has been cancelled due
to restrictions in effect on this computer”..I had this before and had been
able to find a fix-it link that corrected it. I now can't find it.

I think it has happened since The Edge browser updated a few days ago.

I tried reverting to Chrome but the problem is still there.

Manual fixes lead me to Registry corrections - but the lines it is
suggesting I should edit just don't exist.

Any good sources of help?

contemplate a rollback of the industrial age.

I thought MS had ditched Edge.

Yes. They replaced it with Edge.

How did you do that ? You need to set the default browser.

but the problem is still there.

Take a guess, senile wisenheimer! tsk

Not necessarily, senile wisenheimer!

Many thanks - I found a fix - I used System Restore and went back a couple
then reloaded all the updates.

Thanks for the group.

My wi-fi connection had problems after a windows update yesterday. The
Wi-fi would connect to the router and the router to other equipment via
Wi-fi without problems but the win10 laptop complained about no internet
connection. It was a wi-fi network problem as hard wiring a Ethernet
connection between the laptop and router allowed Internet access.

Fix (for me): highlight the wi-fi connection symbol in the right bottom
corner of the screen.

One option on the pop-up should be "Network and Internet settings" -
click on this. This should open the Network status window in settings.

Click on the Network Troubleshooter option

Win10 did a diagnostic, asked me if I wanted a fix and then shut down
On restarting the Internet via wi-fi was available gain.

My WiFi was fine - it was links in emails that would not even open the
browser and website that was the problem.
