Windows 10: Err_connection_failed in chrome and other browsers

Hi,


I was facing this problem a couple of months ago.


After using my laptop for few hours, 3 or 4 for example, i suddenly get the page which says: this site can't be reached with the error Err_connection_failed.

In edge this problem comes under: hmmm... can t reached this page, with error: there was a temporary DNS error. Try refreshing the page. Error code : INET_E_RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND.


I have tried the solution that says to set search dns manual a give the dns address 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 but does not work


The only temporary solution is to reboot the computer. And again after few hours the problem return.


Sometimes when I'm playing an online game, I switch between the game and browse for some music or other activities but i face the problem. The strange thing is that the game sometimes continues running even when i start facing the error.


I hope you can help somehow because I'm starting to be desperate about solving this problem. I do not find an exact similar problem in threads like mine.


Thanks

:)
