It's  public holiday over here in Oz, so maybe the Help function has the day off too ? (joking!)

It would be helpful if you write the entire error message, when I've reworked the IDE Help system I explicitly took the time to implement meaningful error messages, the "Sorry, an error occurred..." is only the headline. If you dont wanna rewrite it, then post a screenshot of it. Also what system are you using Windows/Linux/MacOS.
I get:

Page not found

Sorry, an error occurred:

 Either the requested page is not yet available in the Wiki,
 or the download from Wiki failed and corrupted the page data.
   You may try Update Current Page from the Help menu.

and I'm using Windows 10, with updates up-to-date.

What version of QB64-PE?

And further, you get the error when?
- pressing F1 while the cursor is on a keyword
- selecting "Alphabetic Index" from the IDE Help menu
- following a link from another help page

Did you check you've any helpfiles in 'internal/help" folder? (should be 800+ files)

As a quick try please also load internal/config.ini into editor and change the protocol from https: to just plain http: in the "WikiBaseAddress" entry. Save the changes, restart the QB64 IDE and try again to use the help.
