    Cannot make online connections?


    This issue occurs every couple of weeks on my pretty new Windows 11 desktop computer.At some point, for no apparent reason, my computer will stop allowing me to make certain online connections. I can usually still browse the internet, but attempting do something like playing an online game will break my internet, resulting in ping that never drops below 500ms it's betwen 10ms and 40ms when this issue isn't occuring, or preventing me from joining games altogether. I don't have this problem on any other device connected to my internet, including my Windows 11 laptop.I have had this problem m

    W10 can connect to wider internet but cannot access web pages

    I have an odd issue with my W10 laptop linked to Sky broadband in the UK via wifi using a Sky router. The effect is that while I can actually access the internet (I can send and receive emails using Outlook and can connect to other machines using TeamViewer) I cannot access any web site (Google, BBC etc). There is no specific error message, merely that the access request timed out and a suggestion that it may be to do with proxy. I have tried the following:
    1. Other systems (W10 and ios) can access web sites using the same Sky router (therefore probably not a router problem)
    2. I have sent and received emails using Outlook, so the broadband connection is working (probably not a Sky problem)
    3. I have tried two different browsers (Firefox and Edge), no connection (not a browser problem)
    4. I am using Windows Defender and have:
      1. Made sure that Firefox is in the list of allowed systems in its Firewall, no connection after a reboot
      2. Turned off the Firewall and tried again - no connection
    My next step will be to re-install Windows, but has anyone got any other suggestions? Could it be some sort of virus (I have carried out a complete virus check using Defender) So - any suggestions?
