"Google Chrome is having trouble accessing the network." error messsage on Windows 10 while accessing Google Chrome.

Original title: Google Chrome not working

When I try to open any file at google chrome I get this massage -

Google Chrome is having trouble accessing the network.

This may be because your firewall or antivirus software wrongly thinks Google Chrome is an intruder on your computer and is blocking it from connecting to the Internet.

Allow Chrome to access the network in your firewall or antivirus settings.

I tried few times to reinstall but its not help.

 

Windows Firewall: Allow internal network / deny internet access

Hi all,
Been lurking here for years, but I finally need some direct help please.
I have a need to allow a specific program to have internal network access, but disallow/deny that same program all internet access. I don't see any way to do this in the firewall settings. It seems like it's an all or nothing toggle. What am I missing?
I'm using Malwarebytes Windows Firewall Control, which is just a fancy GUI for the built-in windows firewall.

windows ver: 1909

Really, almost 2600 views and not a single suggestion? Is this really such an impossible problem? *Huh
If so, is there another firewall program (free or paid) that would allow me to do this?
I have a security camera system that needs internal access to my network, but the software I use is notorious for pushing out automatic updates that break the system. I can't have that, so the suggestion is to block access to the internet for that program. However, I can't block internet and still allow internal network traffic with the Windows Firewall. Not that I can find anyway.

 

Good Antivirus + Firewall

I would never put anything Norton on my computer.

Nod32 is arguably the best antivirus. AVG is likely not as good, but it's free and at least pretty good.

Firewalls, I'd put Comodo and whatever "Tiny Personal Firewall" is named nowadays on your short list. I think Kerio might have sold it now and it's named something else. Otherwise, just put Comodo on your short list. I think the current version's ease of use has taken a step backwards, seems a bit counter-intuitive when trying to do certain things with it, but overall it does a good job and the price is right.
