Windows 10: Internet and connectivity problem?

Hi everyone, I've been having a problem with the connection on my laptop the past couple of days.. I tried researching on what to do and I honestly just can't figure it out.The problem I've been having is that I find that it's taking a long time to load for certain websites, like YouTube, ChatGPT, Google Drive.. like usually I can watch videos at 1440p but right now it's at 144p and it barely even loads at that quality— but at the same time it loads normally I think for some like Pinterest, Discord, or searching up random stuff on Google.I tried checking the speed with the Internet Speed Tes

W10 can connect to wider internet but cannot access web pages

I have an odd issue with my W10 laptop linked to Sky broadband in the UK via wifi using a Sky router. The effect is that while I can actually access the internet (I can send and receive emails using Outlook and can connect to other machines using TeamViewer) I cannot access any web site (Google, BBC etc). There is no specific error message, merely that the access request timed out and a suggestion that it may be to do with proxy. I have tried the following:

1. Other systems (W10 and ios) can access web sites using the same Sky router (therefore probably not a router problem)
2. I have sent and received emails using Outlook, so the broadband connection is working (probably not a Sky problem)
3. I have tried two different browsers (Firefox and Edge), no connection (not a browser problem)
4. I am using Windows Defender and have:
   1. Made sure that Firefox is in the list of allowed systems in its Firewall, no connection after a reboot
   2. Turned off the Firewall and tried again - no connection

My next step will be to re-install Windows, but has anyone got any other suggestions? Could it be some sort of virus (I have carried out a complete virus check using Defender) So - any suggestions?
