Windows 10: How do I get my internet back to a working state after updating my drivers?

After updating my drivers with the AVG Driver Updater as soon as I my WiFi drivers or system drivers were updated I could no longer open websites on any browser but can weirdly only open YouTube… I am able to establish a connection to discord, steam and Spotify but can’t connect to Netflix or Facebook and many more. I have no clue what’s happening I’ve tried many things from what I’ve seen on here but nothing helps so I need to totally reset my PC?

Windows 10 Wireless internet driver mysteriously stopped working.

Hi Garrett,

Aside from updating and reinstalling the driver of the network adapters, what other troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

As a first troubleshooting step, we suggest that you run the Network troubleshooter. The Network troubleshooter may help diagnose and fix common connection problems. To run the Network troubleshooter:

• In the search box on the taskbar, type Network troubleshooter, and select
  Identify and repair network problems from the list of results.
• Follow the steps in the troubleshooter and see if that fixes the problem.

We look forward to an update from you.

Regards.
