Windows 10: Cannot connect to Bing.com, is anyone else having intermittent connection issues with...

I think today's update KB4457128 has done something to my internet connection. I didn't even know that my computer was downloading an update, but when I tried to do a search with bing.com it came up with cannot connect. Then I tried twitter.com and that was down also. I then tried apple.com and it came up just fine. Then I tried account.microsoft.com and that was down also. So I'm beginning to think that it's a problem with Microsoft websites. I checked my event viewer and found that an update had been downloaded. So I clicked Update and Restart hoping that the connection issues would go away. Now that I'm updated the sites were still down. Then for no reason I finally got a connection to bing.com. And then to account.microsoft.com.


Is anyone else experiencing connection issues like this? Thanks for your time.


I guess my question is why am I experiencing intermittent problems with Microsoft servers and other websites are just fine.
