Why doesn't the Odnoklassniki website open on my computer?

Failure now » Not working

Odnoklassniki service failure 03/04/2022

Today, March 4, 2022, there are interruptions in the operation of the Odnoklassniki application and the web version of the Ok.ru website.

Why the Odnoklassniki website does not open: basic recommendations

First, it’s worth understanding why such failures appear in general, which can affect the operation of the site entirely, or simply partially, when only some sections of the social network do not open normally. It is worth noting that in cases where problems are caused by some kind of internal technical work on the side of the site itself, a special informative message will be displayed when you try to enter it.

If it becomes clear that the problem is in the user’s device, then you need to act independently. So, for example, a social network may simply not open when a simple white screen appears instead of a website, or the site may not fully load, in which case most or all of the functions simply do not work. In these cases, you can use two simple recommendations:

Firstly, it’s worth trying to simply reload the site itself and check whether it will work after a complete page refresh;
Secondly, there is a possibility that the problem lies in the browser itself, and then you can simply try another browser, since it may work differently, and such problems will not be observed here.

Breaking

Often the problem “I can’t log into Odnoklassniki” occurs because someone hacked the user’s page and now he can’t log into it. To do this, you need to recover your password using the “Forgot your password?” button when logging in. After filling out the data and verification, you will be able to log in to the site and change your password.

Attention! To ensure that such a case does not happen again and that attackers are not able to hack the user, it is necessary to come up with a more secure password. Under no circumstances should you use your date of birth, your last name or other available data as a password. The password must be composed in such a way that it cannot be guessed and only the person who owns the page should know it.

The Odnoklassniki website does not open due to access blocking

If a user cannot log into this social network from his workplace (for example, from the office), this may be caused by a restriction set by the system administrator, blocking access to certain resources within the work network. In this case, you can use the tips from this article about bypassing the blocking of the VKontakte website.

If access is blocked on the user’s personal computer, you can unblock it yourself. As a rule, such restrictions are set in the hosts file. This is a special system file, and inside it there is a specific list of domains through which servers are accessed. In this document, the computer administrator can edit information about which domains and servers should be blocked. To get to the folder with this file, you need to enter the following address in your Windows Explorer:

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

Next, you need to open the hosts file itself using Notepad so that you can make your own edits to it.

Inside the file itself, you need to check whether the addresses of the ok.ru website are indicated here (and at the same time the address of the mobile version of the m.ok.ru website). If there are similar lines in this file, you should simply delete them along with the IP addresses.

After this, you need to save the resulting file by selecting “All files” in the “File type”. There is no need to change the file name. If everything was done correctly, then after all these steps you will be able to access the Odnoklassniki website without any problems (if the problem was really hidden in the hosts file).

You should also understand that the site may be blocked at the level of the provider itself that distributes the Internet. In this case, for example, you can simply connect to another network where this site is not blocked. You can also try connecting to the site through the Tor browser, or through a VPN connection that will mask Internet traffic.

The hosts file is not edited or saved after changes

Some antiviruses have strict control over important areas and files, as is the case with the hosts file, as a result of which the computer will swear in every possible way and write something like “ access denied ” - to do this, temporarily disable the antivirus protection and try to open it again file.
If the file opened and you were able to correct it, but it does not want to be saved, read the article The hosts file is not saved after editing.

The Odnoklassniki website does not open due to Internet problems

Most often, users have problems for this reason. As a rule, in this case, the browser reports that there is simply no connection, and therefore it is impossible to display the site. In other cases, you can only observe partial loading of the site with individual interface elements that were still able to load.

To make your connection more stable, you can use one of the well-known techniques. Here are some popular recommendations that really often help users resume access to the social network:

Firstly, you should close unused tabs in your browser, as they can simply waste incoming Internet traffic, after which you should check again whether the Odnoklassniki website has opened;
If you are downloading any files via torrent or other programs, then you need to understand that they can also interfere with normal access to the site, which means that you can try to wait for the download to finish, or pause it;
If some program is automatically updated on your computer and spends most of the traffic on this, you should also wait until the update is completely completed, about which, most likely, you will receive a corresponding notification in the system;
Many browsers have a special mode for fast page loading, called “Turbo”. In some cases, it really helps to optimize and speed up the operation of sites, but sometimes it does not work correctly, which is why, for example, Odnoklassniki may open incorrectly or not open at all.

Adobe Flash Player

This player provides display of multimedia content (tabs with games, video players, etc.) on the pages of some sites. An outdated plugin may cause the resource content to not be fully displayed. Also, its incorrect operation affects calls - the camera and microphone do not function, which makes live communication through the social network impossible.

The solution is to download and reinstall Flash Player. You can complete the procedure on the official website, where you need to download the installation package, then run it on your computer and allow installation into the system. Once the process is complete, you must restart your browser for the changes to take effect.

The Odnoklassniki website does not open due to garbage in the browser

Users who constantly access different sites through the same browser may simply overflow the available memory of this program during work, that is, they may “cache.” Because of this, some individual elements, or even entire sites, may not work correctly. However, you need to understand that the cache includes information about your browsing history, as well as information about the online applications used, cookies and other data.

At the same time, any user can quickly clear this memory on their own, and for this there is no need to resort to additional software, because here it is enough to simply clear “History”. Depending on the browser you use, the algorithm of actions may differ, but everywhere it is approximately the same in principle. Here we will talk about how to clear browser memory using Google Chrome as an example. Here you first need to click on the button with three dots in the upper right corner of the browser to launch the menu of additional functions. Next in the list, you first need to select “Additional tools” - “Delete data about viewed pages.” After this, a new settings window will open, in which you need to mark the appropriate items on the “Basic settings” and “Advanced” tabs with the data that can be deleted. For example, here you should delete “Browser History”, and you can also do other items, after which you need to click on “Delete data”. Next, you should restart your browser or just the site with the Odnoklassniki social network and then check whether the site will now open correctly.

Cache full

An excessive number of temporary files that are created when the browser is running can have a bad effect on its functioning: pages slow down or the elements located on them become glitchy. To clear the cache, just follow a few simple steps:

Open browser.
Press the key combination Ctrl+Shift+Delete.
In the pop-up window, tick the lines: “cookies”, “images and other files”.
Click “Delete data”.
Restart the program.

The procedure is performed in a similar way on both a computer and a laptop.

The Odnoklassniki website does not open due to garbage on the computer

Unnecessary residual files can negatively impact other programs on your computer, but websites rarely suffer from this. And yet, problems when using various services on the Internet through a browser can arise in cases where the user has not cleaned up junk from his computer for a long time. To do this, you can use the popular CCleaner program, which was created specifically for this purpose. First, we will look at how you can erase residual files here.

Inside the utility itself, you should first go to the “Standard cleaning” section in the left menu, where, by default, all the checkboxes in the required items should be automatically checked. Next, you need to click on “Analysis” to start this process inside the utility. This analysis may take some time to complete, but usually does not take more than a few minutes. When the analysis is completed, you just need to click on the “Cleanup” button so that all unnecessary files are deleted from the computer. At the same time, the cleaning itself, as well as the analysis of files, can also take some time.

Once this routine cleaning is complete, you can also further check the registry using the same utility. To do this, first in the left menu you need to switch to the “Registry” tab and then in the “Cleaning the Registry” list that appears, you should leave all the boxes checked, as is set by default. Next, you just need to click on the “Search for problems” button to start scanning the entire registry. After this, you need to make sure that all the checkboxes are placed in front of all the items that appear. After this, you can click on “Correct selected…”. Before performing this task, the program will offer to create a backup copy of the old registry, just in case, and here it is best to agree to protect yourself in case, after the correction, new critical errors appear in the operation of the computer. Having completed all this work in CCleaner, you can go back to the Google Chrome browser to check if it will now work correctly.

The Odnoklassniki website does not open due to viruses on the computer

Many viruses are not aimed at preventing the user from accessing a particular resource on the Internet, but still in some cases such interference (if we are talking about adware or spyware viruses) can harm the normal operation of browsers. If these are viruses with advertising, then the following problems may occur:

Advertising banners and other spam elements can be seen even on your desktop and in other parts of the operating system itself, where, in fact, it should not be at all, and banners can remain even after the Internet connection is disconnected;
Advertising will appear on various sites, even if it is known for sure that they are never placed on them (for example, in the case of Wikipedia), and in this case even the AdBlock ad blocker will not help;
Studying your “Task Manager”, you can notice that the hard drive, RAM and processor are overloaded by one hundred percent, even in cases where the user has not opened almost any programs;
New documents and folders may begin to appear on the desktop and other places in the operating system, even if the user himself did not place them there.

At the same time, spyware viruses can be much more difficult to detect because they are designed specifically to work unnoticed. Yet these viruses consume a significant portion of Internet traffic, which can negatively impact the performance of individual sites. By scanning your computer with special antivirus programs, you can identify all malicious elements if you are using a truly modern and updated antivirus. At the same time, all users of the Windows 10 operating system have access by default to the standard Windows Defender, which is also capable of performing such analysis, and therefore here we will analyze specific steps using the example of this program.

First, you need to launch this program in your tray in the lower right part by clicking on the Firewall icon here. Next, in the window with this open program, you need to click on the “Scan Settings” button to set your special settings for the analysis.

On the next page that opens, you need to select “Full Scan” and then click on the “Run Scan Now” button to start this process. Next, you just need to wait for the results of this deep scan, which can identify some threats that remain invisible during quick automatic analysis. After the scan is completely completed, you will be able to look at a list of all suspicious files that could harm your computer. Then you can quickly either delete these files from your computer or simply place them in a special quarantine so that they do not interfere with the operation of the system.

Problems on the provider side

If you are using a wired connection, it is possible that the problem is on the ISP side. And don’t be surprised that a particular site won’t load—this could very well happen. What to do? The options are limited: wait until the provider solves this problem, but you can call the support team and find out when the issue will be closed. It is likely that the provider may not recognize the problem - if it is really on your side (for example, it is a virus on a PC or laptop).

The Odnoklassniki website does not open due to the antivirus

Unlike the previous reason, here, on the contrary, the site may not launch in the browser because it is recognized by the antivirus program as a resource, which poses a danger to the operation of the computer. As a rule, this happens with professional modern anti-virus packages, and here the user will receive a corresponding notification from the anti-virus when trying to go to the Odnoklassniki website.

Of course, everyone understands that this social network does not set itself the task of distributing malicious files and stealing passwords from accounts, because it is a fairly authoritative resource. This means that the antivirus in this case simply incorrectly marked this site, but it can be quickly included in the list of “Exceptions” or “Trusted Sites”. At the same time, this process works differently in different antiviruses, but, as a rule, it is quite easy to do. If the user only has standard Windows Defender on his computer, then he will not have such a problem specifically related to the operation of the antivirus, since this Defender does not block sites.

Registry

If you have regular problems, you can try to resort to one trick. If you can’t log into Odnoklassniki or any other social network, or your music and videos won’t load, it’s time to clean your computer’s registry. It is advisable to use CCLeaner for this. Maybe your computer simply does not have enough resources to connect to a specific page. Cleaning the registry will fix this problem.

There is no need to particularly hope for success. But if it helped you, rejoice. And don’t forget to regularly clean the registry on your computer in the future. It is advisable to use this procedure at least once a month. It helps to improve the operation of the operating system.
