How to Fix OneDrive Feedback Page ERR_FAILED Error
Question details
The user encounters an ERR_FAILED message when trying to access the OneDrive feedback page and needs simple, beginner-friendly troubleshooting steps.
- Product
- Microsoft OneDrive
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Attempting to open the OneDrive feedback page via its direct web link (onedrive.live.com/?action=feedback).
- Observed behavior
- The browser fails to load the page and displays an ERR_FAILED message, stating the site cannot be reached or may have moved.
Before applying these fixes, ensure your device is actively connected to the internet and temporarily disable any VPNs or strict ad-blockers that might prevent the page from loading.
Use a Private Browsing Window or Alternative Browser
Opening the page in a private window bypasses corrupted cache data and extensions that often trigger the ERR_FAILED error.
Browser-related glitches are the most common cause of ERR_FAILED messages. Using a private or incognito window helps determine if an extension or a bad cookie is causing the issue.
Launch your web browser. Press Ctrl+Shift+N (for Chrome or Edge) or Ctrl+Shift+P (for Firefox) to open a new private or incognito window.
Copy the OneDrive feedback URL (https://onedrive.live.com/?action=feedback), paste it into the address bar of the private window, and press Enter.
If the error persists in the private window, open an entirely different supported web browser (such as Edge, Chrome, or Firefox) and try loading the link there.
Navigate to your browser's settings, find the 'About' section, and ensure the browser is updated to the latest version to prevent compatibility issues.
Verify Your Microsoft Account Sign-in Status
Authentication errors can prevent account-specific pages like the feedback portal from loading properly.
Access Files Directly and Contact Microsoft Support
If the feedback page is completely inaccessible, you can still access your files via alternative apps and report the error to support directly.
Try WPS Office for Seamless Document Management
If you are frustrated by sudden web errors and complicated troubleshooting steps while trying to manage your Microsoft files, consider switching to WPS Office. It provides a highly compatible, lightweight offline and online alternative for your productivity needs.
- 1. Download the software: Visit the official WPS website and download the free installation package for Windows, Mac, or Linux.
- 2. Install WPS Office: Run the installer and follow the simple on-screen prompts to set up the software in minutes.
- 3. Open your existing files: Launch WPS Office and easily open your saved Microsoft Office documents to continue your work without network interruptions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the ERR_FAILED message mean in a web browser?
ERR_FAILED is a network error generated by your browser indicating it could not establish a successful connection to the requested web page. This is commonly caused by corrupted browser cookies, outdated browser versions, or temporary server outages.
Can I still access my synced files if the OneDrive feedback page is down?
Yes. The feedback page is completely separate from your cloud storage. You can still access your files by logging into the main OneDrive website or by using the OneDrive application on your PC or mobile device.
Why does using an incognito window fix page loading errors?
Incognito or private browsing windows do not load your saved cookies, site data, or most browser extensions. If corrupted cache data or an ad-blocker is preventing the page from loading, the private window will bypass these issues, allowing the page to display properly.
How do I update my browser to fix the ERR_FAILED error?
In most major browsers like Chrome or Edge, click the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner, go to 'Help', and select 'About Google Chrome' or 'About Microsoft Edge'. The browser will automatically check for and install the latest updates.
