News Tab Not Working

I get the following, not matter whether I switch to the Team/League or Transaction sections:

Can’t reach this page
*Make sure the web address is correct
*Search for this site on Bing
*Refresh the page

Refreshing doesn't work, nor does restarting/reloading. I have the game set to reset news monthly and not to disable CPU Team news. I tried unchecking the monthly reset, and checking the CPU News Disable, and that didn't work either. It happened toward the end of the preseason of my 2020 season, and I am currently waiting to start the 2020 regular season.

Having the news isn't vitally important, of course, the game can be played without it, but I'd prefer if it were working. Anyone have an idea on what the problem could be?

Running on Windows 10, and have simmed 6 full seasons since the beginning of Dec (when I got this computer) without issue

Tried simming some, and things seemed to work fine, albeit slowly, aside from the News as previously mentioned. But then I tried to save my progress under a new file name and I got a Run Time Error 76, Path not found message, and EHM closed automatically, without saving. Can't recall that happening before

Well, for some reason, it's working now, Windows had to do a massive update, so maybe that had something to do with it? :dunno:

The News tab on the freeware utilizes either your default browser or IE, I forget which. So if Windows updated but needed to actually complete the update with a reboot and whatnot, it could be possible that it broke the News until it could complete.
