XR500 inaccessible cumulative update bug

I am quite surprised there is no mention of this bug on this forum but if you reinstall your windows 10 or download cumulative update KB4480116 or onwards you will not be able to acess local IP adresses or at least for some people. At first it was just if you was useing the Windows EDGE BROWSER but now it is affected on all at least for me that is.

I am unable to connect to my XR500 this is most frustating as I want to turn GEO FILTER OFF!

The work around that microsoft has issued does not work for me either.  Not sure what else I can try 

 

After installing KB4480116, some users report that they cannot load a webpage in Microsoft Edge using a local IP address. Browsing fails or the webpage may become unresponsive.
  1. Open the Control Panel and select Internet Options.
  2. On the Security tab, select the Trusted Sites icon.
  3. Select the Sites button.
  4. Clear the check box for Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone.
  5. In the Add this website to the zone: box, type the local IP address that failed to load, such as http://192.168.0.1.
  6. Select the Add button.
  7. Select the Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone check box.
  8. Select the Close button.
  9. Select the OK button.
  10. Restart Microsoft Edge.
Microsoft is working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release.
