Windows 10: All Browsers Work Intermittently

Edge, Firefox & Chrome work intermittently. After some time, that's not consistent, searches stop working. Solutions include deleting all browsing data (sometimes works) and rebooting (always works to this point). This intermittent problem only occurs with my Dell laptop. I have two other PCs that don't have this issue. Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Browsers Intermittently Don't Recognize Secure Internet Wifi Connection

Well, now my W10 installation won't update. I've used the update tool three times, and System keeps telling my that I've got Version 1703, Build 15063.850 rather than build 16299. On the plus side, my browsers are
consistently seeing my internet connection.

Start a new thread, or keep going in this one?

 

Browsers Intermittently Don't Recognize Secure Internet Wifi Connection

The issue may be with the wireless connection. Let us try to isolate the issue by connecting your PC to the internet using a wired connection. Kindly connect the router using a LAN cable.

Kindly provide us with the result.

 

Welcome to Ten Forums !

Say work, mean not able to browse or search or do anything, any trouble loading the browsers ? Assuming all these other systems are using same modem/router.

 

Try this if you know PC has an internet connection
Select (admin) command prompt,enter these commands one at a time and press enter, copy and paste to make sure you get them right.

netsh int ip reset

netsh winsock reset

netsh int ipv4 reset

netsh int ipv6 reset

Then after Reboot your computer

 

netsh int ip reset: Resetting Interface, OK! Resetting Neighbor, OK! Resetting Path, OK! Resetting, failed. Access is denied, Restting, OK! Restart the computer ...

netsh winsock reset: Sucessfully reset teh Winsock Catalog. Restart ...

netsh int ipv4 reset: Resetting, failed. Access is denied. There's no user specified settings to be reset.

netsh int ipv6 reset: Resetting Interface, OK! Resetting neighbor, OK! Resetting Path, OK! Resetting, failed. Access is denied. Resetting, OK! Resetting, OK! Restart...

I did not restart after each entry. I restarted after entering the 4 commands as you indicated.

Problem still persists ? Right click Network icon on taskbar and select troubleshoot, run that. Sure internet connection is working on this system ?

 

You're fast JDS. I'm corresponding with you from a MacbookPro that doesn't have the aforementioned issues. I'll write back after some time on the affected laptop to see if the above fix worked. BTW, what exactly did I do with all those netshes?

You just reset them by using those commands. Let us know.
