    internet connection, browsers working poorly.

    Windows 10
    Like the title says, bad browser performance with a good internet connection.
    Google Chrome wont work at all, firefox works sometimes, edge works sometimes. Its only been happening over the past few days. I have a laptop at home on win 10, it must have received the same updates but is working perfectly.

    I tested the work station (with network connection) in safe mode and internet browsers functioned perfectly. I have tried disabling the firewall, deleting Avast, Malwarebytes, cmd lines, just about everything, but no luck yet.

    Hopefully one of you can help out.
    Thanks in advance,
    Chris
