I decided to get a head start on Windows 11 to begin using and testing it. I upgraded on my Work PC, Laptop and On-Call LTE Surface. On the laptop and Surface, I also did a CLEAN install after the upgrade but did not do a clean install on my WorkPC. My laptop and Surface are NOT DOMAIN joined.
On my Domain Joined work PC, I can no longer access Facebook or Instagram via Microsoft Edge. You type the URL, and the tab has a "spinning" indicator but the page never loads nor does it give an error...it will usually perpetually spin or just show a white page. I fired up Chrome and same thing but if you wait long enough it MAY load but mostly the same thing.
If I disable the network card on this domain joined PC and go on the Wi-Fi (which is outside domain), Facebook and Instagram work fine. As soon as I reenable the network card on the domain, bam, it stops.
So I decided to clean install my work PC to see if something was gummed up. I joined my PC (under same PC name) to the domain, tried Facebook and Instagram and same problem. Pages just spin and spin and won't load.
I did a Domain Remove and Re-Add...while disconnected from the Domain and on WIRED network, I still couldn't access Facebook or Instagram. As I earlier tested, I left the wired network and went wireless and Facebook and Instagram both came up perfectly. Go back to WIRED network and both wouldn't work.
Hi @Brian , According to your description, neither Edge nor Chrome can access Facebook or Instagram through a wired network? Have you tried other websites, such as Google ( )? And you mentioned that they work correctly under the wireless network (Wi-Fi), so I think it should be network related issue. You can try to check whether the driver is the latest version, refer to this case.
Hi
I've noticed a peculiar issue with accessing Facebook and Instagram on my domain-joined PC since the upgrade to Windows 11. Despite trying a clean install and various troubleshooting steps, the problem persists.I've tested on another domain-joined PC (different name) with Windows 11, and it works fine. This leads me to suspect it might be related to my PC name on the domain.
Also, I recommend that you post your question on the windows 11 forum, because there you will be received by the windows 11 team that will explain in detail how to fix this or any other type of problem.
Don't worry - it's quick and painless! Just click below, and once you're logged in we'll bring you right back here and post your question. We'll remember what you've already typed in so you won't have to do it again.
I run the Desktop app on windows 10. When I want to connect via the "Log in with Facebook" button nothing happens. Even if I click the button 10 times, it still does not work. The animation loads, it shows me that the button is being clicked on, but it doesn't work.
If you can, try login on your account on the web and creating a password for your account (Account Overview > Set a password for your devices). It will be associated with a technical Spotify login (only numbers). Then you can use this login / password to log in on Win 10 desktop app.
I am having same issue, it seems to be linked to error 4, which is an offline error. I can't use Facebook login OR regular login, can't access Spotify on my desktop at all now, fine on my phone though.
Issue seems to be resolved and it was in two parts. It seems due to an update at work something was preventing me logging in. When that was solved I still got offline error. I went into advanced settings and turned off proxy auto detect. That seemed to work for me.
I have 60 odd users that are rarely in the office and do not connect via VPN, however, I have been asked to block access to Facebook.com. I would prefer not to load on software to their laptops to do it. Is it possible carry out this task via group policy or does someone have a better idea?
How IT savvy are your users? Could you configure using something like OpenDNS and blacklist facebook? Obvioulsy if they are knowledgeable enough they could change the settings (assuming they have access privaledges to allow it)
I doubt any of the proxy server options would work on remote users who are not going through a VPN connection as the proxy would not be between the user and the offending sites at home without a lot of headache. The host file edit is probabably the best quick and dirty for remote users. If the users were in the office I would agree 100% with the proxy server route.
Facebook also attribute conversion(s) to the last Facebook ad impression, provided the conversion(s) occurred within one day from the last ad impression and no other Facebook ad was clicked in the last 28 days.
Now consider the hundreds and thousands of people who click on your Facebook ads only once or twice and then complete conversions on your website over the next 28 days via different marketing channels.
Now considering half of the world (at least the western world) is on Facebook and millions of people visit Facebook every day/week, there is always a very high probability that your target audience was on Facebook and was served one of your ads (but did not click on it) before he made a purchase on your website.
So in order to stop Facebook view-through attribution windows from taking too much credit for conversions, use the narrowest view-through attribution window available i.e. the 1-day view attribution window.
Once a person has clicked on any of your Facebook ads, then any conversion that occurred on your website in the next 28 days by the same person, will most likely be attributed to the last Facebook ad click.
Similarly, once a person is served one of your Facebook ads, then any conversion that occurred on your website in the next 24 hours by the same person, will most likely be attributed to the last Facebook ad impression.
So if you are heavily advertising via multiple marketing channels (Twitter, Email, Google Ads etc) and you start running Facebook marketing campaigns then within few weeks, you will most likely notice, a dramatic surge in sales and ROAS reported by Facebook.
For example, if you are using the default attribution window then you should ideally wait for a full one month so that Facebook get enough time to attribute all sales and other conversions to your ad campaigns.
So if you are expecting to see $143k in Sales (based on a 28-days click and a 1-day view attribution window, see the screenshot above) from Facebook in Google Analytics then best of luck. Because that is not the actual sales from Facebook and Google Analytics is pretty good in figuring that out.
We can not discount them completely and assume they do not exist and have zero impact on sales and other conversions. It is important to note that the assisted conversion value for Facebook, as reported by Google Analytics does not take Facebook view-through conversions into account.
Google Analytics does not report on impression assisted conversions (conversions assisted by Facebook ad impressions) for Facebook. It only takes Facebook click assisted conversions (Conversions assisted by Facebook ad clicks) into account, where people clicked on one of your Facebook ads in their conversion path.
The Facebook attribution window is no different than the attribution windows used by other marketing platforms like Google. If anything, the Facebook attribution window is, in fact, shorter than the 30 to 90 days long attribution window used by Google.
Unlike any other marketing platform out there, people are most likely to be on Facebook, almost every single day. May be multiple times every day. So Facebook default attribution window is much more likely to claim credit for all the conversions that occurred on your website.
Conversion window is the time frame you give to your Facebook pixel to learn and optimise your ad sets for maximum possible conversions and start delivering your ads as stably as possible (without performance fluctuations).
Once you publish a new ad set or make a significant change to an existing once, your Facebook pixel start learning and finding as many people as possible who are most likely to convert on your website.
This learning phase can also end when your ad set does not receive at least 50 optimisation events within the chosen conversion window from the date, the ad set was first published or significantly edited.
When the learning phase successfully ends (that is your ad set gets at least 50 optimisation events within the chosen conversion window) then your Facebook pixel is in the best position to deliver and optimise your ad sets to get maximum possible conversions.
When the learning phase does not successfully end (that is your ad set does not get at least 50 optimisation events within the chosen conversion window) then Facebook does not learn to optimise your ads to get maximum possible conversions.
However regardless of the outcome of the learning phase (successful or not successful), the longer you run your ads, the more your Facebook pixel learn about the people who are most likely to convert.
