Windows 10: Can't connect to some online games and websites.

I'm using a USB Wifi Adapter and my connection averages at around 100mbps. For some reason I'm unable to play some online games like Roblox or visit some sites like Twitch and I get random error explanations in each one. For some reason when I connect with a VPN the issues get fixed.
