Reece, see if you can access gmail or google search in a private browser window. Also, this appears to be a
repeat of a previous problem in 2016. All you defenders of Microsoft snooping because it "increases quality," this is powerful evidence that Windows quality is falling! It's not slowly slipping down a shallow slope, it's fallen off a cliff.
Solution last time was to go into settings for IE11 and Edge and turn "use TLS 1.2" off. Last time Firefox and Chrome were unaffected by the feature. It's hard to believe that specific blocking of all things Google is an accident, although the MS drones were chanting that mantra last time.
Still reading that thread. Things get worse:

I have this issue in Creators Update (15063), I have tried several different “solutions” (like disabling TLS 1.2), InPrivate Browsing and others but none have helped me. I was really hoping to start using Edge now, but I guess I’ll have to wait a little bit longer :-(

Why would ANYONE "really hope" to start using a cell phone app on a real computer? People are simply sick. Why would they even use totally insecure and abysmally slow IE11? Really the fix is to jump ship from Microsoft. The handwriting is on the wall and it says the sky is falling. Microsoft may fix this problem, but history has already repeated itself. Their snooping is so far over the line it wouldn't have been tolerated two years ago. People would have gone to prison. And their stated reason that it increases quality of the product is just a sorry lie.

Yeah, this isn’t a 'bug’, this is horrible business practice by Microsoft. Blocking Google’s sites is childish. You can drown us in advertisements on the computers WE OWN but if you’re browser doesn’t open all sites on the internet, guess what? I’m going to use GOOGLE’S browser…I tried to give Edge a shot and it didn’t even last an hour…

Nuff said. It's a real issue. It will be ignored and even made difficult to find. It's not a bug. Microsoft saw how users defeated the block last time and strengthened it this time. This is Microsoft's business practice in action. At some point it will be intolerable even by those who love and defend Microsoft now. This site quoted above is one of those sites peopled by Microsoft lovers. They are losing faith. Microsoft lost faith in us first and they richly deserve their fate.
Switch browsers to Chrome, Vivaldi, Firefox, Opera, Waterfox and not many others. Remember, that is just a temporary holding position while Windows goes to hell.
