Windows 10: Connectivity problem with some HTTPS sites on 1809

Hello.

So, internet in general works fine, I can open most sites without any problems, however on some sites it would take a long time to establish connection, or it may even fail and time out. It affects any browser and app using https:

IE doesn't show anything, and it won't even show rotating loading circle icon in tab header,

Firefox gives me "Performing a TLS handshake",

Chrome shows "Establishing secure connection",

Firefox online installer couldn't connect to server to download installation files, etc.

Sometimes it manages to load those sites though, and it's not a problem of the sites themselves, cause they load fine on any other device or OS and only happen on 3 instances of Windows build 1809.

I tried enabling/disabling SSL and TLS in Internet Options, tried fixes for infamous chrome/CryptSvc bug, nothing helps.

Windows 10 cannot connect to https sites

I'm using build 1607, I've clean installed windows 10 twice in the last two days, on my intel nuc6cayh. I install bitdefender which is the only program I've added. I can browse google, youtube, basically any site that uses https. all well and good.

Then I connect to windows update, in the listed updates I have

KB890830 malicious tool

KB4010250 flash

KB3213986 cumulative update

once installed and rebooted I cannot connect to youtube, google ect.

I've ran scf /SCANNOW to no avail

The computer region, time and time zone are correct

I use exactly the same software on my acer laptop and have no problems, so that rules out a router problem.

Any suggestions welcome

 

Can't access HTTP sites after upgrading to Win 10 from Win 7. I can access https sites fine!
