Since yesterday's big Windows 10 update, can't log in to router.

Any help valued on this annoying issue

Since the big update from Windows on the 14th Apr. I can no longer log into my Huawei router,

which is connected to laptop wirelessly & via LAN cable; see image.

Have done a DNS flush, IP config release etc, rebooted router, all to no avail.

Strangely my 2nd Dell Laptop, also on Windows10 with same update applied, does allow me to log in.

Log in URL = 192.168.8.1/html/index.html, but renders as below.

@Gel

Maybe a silly question, but have you changed its log in URL to the one you've quoted?

Just asking, in case you're typing the wrong one.

Yes, but it instantly morphs into "hirouter" etc.

Does the same happen using your alternate browser?
The only way that web address will work is if you have the dns lookups set to the router’s address. Presumably it’s not on that device, hence it fails.
