Did you do the simple step and check your firewall and proxy already?
For the proxy -> Open the Windows menu by pressing the WIN key on your keyboard and type proxy and you should see "Change proxy settings"-. If you use any proxy which is setup there also enter this into Minion's network settings. At the top right edge of Minion press on the gear icon and you'll find the settings. If you do not use any proxy but there is something enabled in your windows you might either got a malware or some tool installed which added a proxy there. Remove it and scan your system with your antivirus tools. Also check your antivirus and firewall tools and add the Minion executable/folder to your whitelist/exclusion list/allowed programs list so it is allowed to communicate via the internet. Check your software's handbook or search onliny for how to achieve this, depending on your installed firewall (Windows firewall? Or something else like Avast, Antivir, McAfee, BitDefender, ...?) and antivirus (Windows Defender, BitDefender, ...? Or something else like Avast, Antivir, McAfee?). |
Had same pop-up. I use neither a proxy or anti-virus software. I did a clean boot of Windows 10 literally just last night and reinstalled Minion with ESO, got it working. Downloaded most of my essentials. Today I tried to start it up to pick up the few add-ons that slipped through the list and nada.
Posting now, but I'm going to reboot once I'm done configuring add-ons from last night. |
As I wrote: Check your proxy settings and scan your computer for malware.
If Minion is sometimes able and sometimes not to connect it's either your ISP or line which does trouble here, or your computer got a proxy active which is causing this, or there might be any virus or other firewall or antivirus software blocking it. So allow Minion in both types of software and check that your internet line is stable, maybe reboot the router or check the router's protocoll for more information. |
I checked firewall exclusions, did not have a proxy, ran anti-virus, tried running with all anti-virus and firewalls completely off, checked router settings and reset it and none of these things worked, but interestingly a slightly older post for the same pop-up actually had the solution for me.

Thanks for the feedback. This solution is also mentioned in the Minion troubleshooting "sticky" thread:
https://www.esoui.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8082 I thought you had read and tried this already so I did not mention it again. |
Nope, I was being a Karen. That's on me.

Had this issue. Yesterday morning, Minion worked just fine. Played all day, no addon issues. Yesterday evening Minion gave me this same error. No, I didn't update anything. I allow nothing to autoupdate, so nope. I did all the troubleshooting steps, still not working.
This morning I thought to check Control Panel/Internet Options. There were various SSL protocols not activated (IIRC, SSL 2.0, TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, TLS 1.2). Clicking the checkboxes for those not checked, then trying Minion again.... Yep, Minion is working fine now. Don't have a clue why, but I'm happy - trying to manually update 65+ addons is a right PTIA, y'know? |
