What does this error mean?

An HTTP/HTTPS connection expected by Windows did not respond within the time frame.

Probable causes

  • proxy or network filtering
  • Slow or incorrect DNS
  • Service Service Service Not Available
  • TLS inspection or firewall blocking the request

Verification and resolution

  1. Test DNS resolution of the target service

  4. Compare with another post on the same network
Precaution: Do not change the global proxy parameters without checking their use by business applications.
