Windows 10: “ERR_CONNECTION_FAILED” on all browsers and apps that require internet connection.

Hi,I’ve been having this issue for the past week and every single solution I could find has not worked. Whenever I boot up my PC, my internet works just fine for about 20 minutes. After that, any application that requires internet that isn’t connected to Google just stops working. What I mean by connected to Google is that sites like Youtube and Google Drive work just fine, but any other site or app doesn’t. Iv’e been seeing that many people have this same issue, but none of the solutions Iv’e found online work.Here is what I’ve tried:All of the “ipconfig” commands for the command prompt.Unins

Browser(s) reporting ERR_CONNECTION_FAILED

Hello!

The system works fine until you let it set idle for a number of hours and then all of a sudden you cannot browse anywhere. Doesn't matter what browser, Edge, Chrome, Firefox they all give the same error. Even for localhost and the loopback.










Now ... if you ping those same address from the command line it tells you a different story.

ping.txt

I ran Windows diagnostics and it came up dry, no issues or errors found.

I do not put my PC to sleep/hibernate. I just shut my monitor off or if I'm super lazy I'll just let the monitor time out.When the system gets rebooted works fine! But this is annoying!
If you need to me dig up any other logs or diagnostics just let me know which!
Thanks for any and all help!

Laptop apps (Settings, Etc) say not connected to network or internet but browser connects to home network and internet

Thanks for the response, Greg.

I re-registered apps per your suggestion.

Didn't fix problem.

The problem seems related to built-in system apps --I.E Settings, Network and Internet Settings, Windows Updates, List of available wifi networks, etc.

None of those apps recognize my connection to LAN network and internet connection.

However, the list of available wifi networks does show I'm connected to my home wifi connection, but says no internet connection.

I can't perform any Settings functions or anything which requires internet connection because the built-in app thinks it's not connected to internet.

But, my Firefox browser has full internet and LAN connection and abilities.

I appreciate any thing you can recommend.

Also note I keep getting a "notification" that my Microsoft account needs attention. It directs me to Shared Experiences" to fix the problem. I try to fix from there but it fails due to "No internet connection"

I have checked my Microsoft account via browser access and finf no highlighted problem in my account.

Regards,

Richard
