Further, if this helps:

    Hi Shelski, is this a personal machine or a company-managed device?

     

    Have you made any changes to your default browser on your machine? As my colleague asked earlier, have you got any special VPN, proxy or firewalls running?

      Personal Machine. I use Chrome as default browser, but when I created a new profile I kept everything as is, no other installs and Safai as default browser.
