Upgraded a fairly new Desktop to 11. Have been using 11 since first introduced by Insider on other PC's.
Everything works fine, using it for general use for a couple of days. Went to go to www.facebook.com using Chrome, default browser, After a while loading with blank white screen,I get same blank white page
This happens with Chrome. Edge spins loading icon with white page then stops with blank white page. Just installed Firefox and get the same thing.
Have a laptop with same upgraded build and that's OK. No problem.
It was working on this PC before the upgrade.

I'm not a heavy Facebook user and I can get it on my laptop and cell so its no emergency. Would contacting Facebook Support do any good since I am using W-11 and they may just say go back to 10. Did all of this from the Facebook support:
Any thing I can try?

Gee.. I just setup a new account due to lost email account and I didn't have an issue getting into Facebook on Firefox. A restart might help or trying a different browser.. that's an odd issue

Smartbyte, yuck.... It's supposed to optimise your system for streaming and it's actually rubbish added by Dell that does nothing for streaming and as you have found out for some obscure reason blocks facebook and probably other stuff as well. Lot of Complaints on the Dell forums about it.

Ii has two services that are on automatic start which I disabled before I uninstalled the Smartbyte App and the Smart Drive drivers, Can be done from Apps or Control Panel Programs and Features.

how reliably does Smartbyte block access to Facebook? It could be a useful tool for those clients who have difficulty stopping employees wasting their work time on FB :cool:

Hi All.. Same issue with FB. I also do not have SmartByte. Both Edge and Chrome will not allow any posting on FB. And FB loads very slow. Switch browser to "Brave" and it works great there.
