Try double clicking the status circle in the lower right corner of Electrum to bring up the Network window. Does it show you connected to any servers? Is "select server automatically" and "use ssl" checked? I'd recommend they both be checked if not. You can try manually selected a server instead of manually connecting if you are having issues getting connected to a server.

The other possibility is that you have a firewall or something that is blocking the connections from Electrum. Have you been able to get Electrum synced in the past or is the first time you are using it?

First of all don't worry. As long as you have access to your Seed/Wallet file/Private keys your funds are safe and will be accessible to you.
Worst case scenario you export the private key of addresses containing funds into another wallet and spend them.
Or easier would be making a raw unsigned transaction and then signing it with Electrum without needing any sync.

To fix the problem try changing the servers. Try "ecdsa.net" server. (Change server from Tools > Network).
Also make sure Windows Firewall is not blocking Electrum (https://www.technipages.com/blockunblock-programs-in-windows-firewall)
This may be far fetched by if nothing worked check to see if your port 50002 is open.

have you try manual select network ? like this


u can find in tools >> network

i recomend use electrum.no-ip.org   i use this server since 2014

Electrum only takes at most minutes to synchronise.

Chances are your firewall is blocking outbound traffic/access.

Are you using a home network or some other host or are you in a corporate network.

If you are that worried about your existing bitcoins, if you used a seed to create said wallet, it is easy to retrieve back your coins with the seed on another computer running electrum.

If you imported private keys, simply export the private key into another wallet like bitcoin core if you can get it running, or to another computer with working wallet software.

You can also try going to your Electrum Data Directory (whichever you set to, or default %appdata%/electrum ) , copy the whole folder elsewhere and try running electrum clean or standalone.
