Known issues in build
- Some websites, including Google properties, may unexpectedly show “We can’t reach this page,” due to issues with an experimental implementation of the new Token Binding security model which is being previewed in Windows Insider builds. We are working on fixes for these issues. In the meantime, you can work around this issue by accessing the site from an InPrivate tab. This issue is fixed in builds 15025 and earlier, which are available in the Insider Fast ring.
