Windows 10: Cannot connect to HTTPS web sites using Internet Explorer

httpsinternet-explorer-11networkingwindows 10

After a clean install of Windows 10 Pro on a new machine, I cannot access HTTPS web sites using Internet Explorer 11.

  • Both Chrome and Edge work fine!
  • HTTP web sites in Internet Explorer work fine!
  • There was an anti virus installed (Avast), which I removed while troubleshooting.
  • The computer is connected to a wired network that is set as a "private network" and Windows Firewall is disabled for both "private profile" and "domain profile".
  • There is no proxy on the network, but I've also disabled all proxy auto detection and manual proxy settings in the Settings up.
  • Some other software that needs to access the network, such as Onedrive and the Dropbox installer, also fail to connect – I can only assume they try to access HTTPS using the same method that IE uses (but not other browsers).
  • I've enabled all SSL versions in Internet Explorer's advanced internet options (even though SSL 2 and 3 are disabled by default).

I'm currently at a lost as to what to do next.

Any advice will be helpful.
