Windows 10: Can only acess certain websites, not too many,most I can't access

I think that the title above says it all. It's odd that I received MS updates, and shortly thereafter I was unable to access many websites that I had accessed before.

Can only acess certain websites, not too many,most I can't access

Hi, updates- which? Browser - which? Sample web site? Error message?




Have you tried
- changing your DNS?
- using a different browser?

Thanks.

Thank you for your reply.



Again: have you tried changing your DNS?
DNSjumper (free) is very handy- it shows the time to access the DNS, and you can pick the fastest.

Again: build number? The forum prompted you so we don't have to keep asking. Updates? Which?

Have you checked you don't have a proxy server configured?

 

Can't access certain websites in Win10

Hi Alan,

Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community.

I appreciate your efforts and time.

• As I understand you are unable to access certain websites, what websites are you not able to access?
• Have you logged in with a Microsoft account or a local account?

I suggest you to try the steps below and check if it helps.

• Network troubleshooter. Either search for it in the Search or run it by following the link below.

• Try a different network adapter/connection type if possible.
• Check for Windows Updates.
• Check for drivers for the network adapter.
• Open a CMD window as Administrator:
  • dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
  • sfc /scannow
  • netsh winsock reset

Also try to restart the DNS service.

• Press Windows Logo Key+X. Click on Run.
• Type services.msc. Click on Ok.
• Then find DNS client. Right-click on it to Stop it and Restart it.
