Avast VPN blocking Internet connection

Hello,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

As per the issue description you are unable to access internet sites after enabling Avast VPN on your system. This could be if your security software is restricting it to get connected or accessing internet.

So, I would suggest you to Disable Security software temporarily
and see if it brings any difference.



Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you
have to temporarily disable it to install other software, you should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

If issue persists, try the steps provided below and see if it helps you to fix the issue.

Method 1

As you are unable to open some websites then, there might be a chance that the website is not compatible to Internet Explorer. So, I would suggest you to open those websites in compatibility view and see if it helps.

• 
  Open Internet Explorer.
  
• 
  Open website which is getting blocked.
  
• 
  Press alt key to open tool bar.
  
• 
  Now click on tools.
  
• 
  Then click on Compatibility view settings.
  
• 
  You will see the name of website
  under Add this website, so click on add
  to add this website.
  
• 
  Close the window and restart your computer.
  

Try the below mentioned methods and see if it helps you to fix the issue.

Method 2

If issue still persists you may try to trust those websites by following the steps mentioned below.

Step 1: Open the trusted sites

• Open Internet Explorer.
• Press the Alt key to make the tools menu visible.
• In the menu, click Tools.
• Now click Internet Options.
• Go to the Security tab.
• Select Trusted sites.
• Click Sites.

Step 2:

Add the trusted website

• Enter the address of the website you would like to add.
• Click Add.
• Close the opened Trusted Sites and Internet Options
  windows.

Hope this would help. If issue still persists post back with current status of your computer and result of proposed suggestion, we will be happy to assist you.

USB connected device, Amazon kindle, icon not recognized. How to fix?

Hi AdrienneSolomon,

There could be a number of factors as to why you are experiencing issues with connecting the Amazon Kindle to your Windows 10 computer. This could be caused by an outdated driver, loose USB port, or an issue with the device being connected.

I would like to know more about your concern. Kindly answer the following questions below:

• When did you start encountering the issue?
  
• Have you made any changes to your computer prior to the issue?
  
• Are you encountering this issue only when connecting the Amazon Kindle device
• Have you tried connecting another USB device? If so, are you experiencing the same issue?
  
• Have you tried connecting the Amazon Kindle device to another USB port or another computer?
  
• Is the Amazon Kindle device detected under Device Manager? (To check, press
  Windows key + X on your keyboard. Select Device Manager. Look for it under Universal Serial Bus Controller or Other Devices.)

Meanwhile, I suggest that you run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter. To do this, follow the steps below:

1. On the Start menu, type Troubleshoot and then hit Enter.
   
2. Under Find and fix other problems, click Hardware and Devices, and then select
   Run the troubleshooter.

Updating the driver can also help. You can refer to this article
on how to update driver in Windows 10.
