Any Internet access is blocked after enabling hotspot sharing. I tried to uninstall the latest update KB5014699 and restart my PC. But the issue was not fixed. How should I fix this problem now?

Avast VPN blocking Internet connection

Hello,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

As per the issue description you are unable to access internet sites after enabling Avast VPN on your system. This could be if your security software is restricting it to get connected or accessing internet.

So, I would suggest you to Disable Security software temporarily
and see if it brings any difference.



Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you
have to temporarily disable it to install other software, you should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

If issue persists, try the steps provided below and see if it helps you to fix the issue.

Method 1

As you are unable to open some websites then, there might be a chance that the website is not compatible to Internet Explorer. So, I would suggest you to open those websites in compatibility view and see if it helps.

• 
  Open Internet Explorer.
  
• 
  Open website which is getting blocked.
  
• 
  Press alt key to open tool bar.
  
• 
  Now click on tools.
  
• 
  Then click on Compatibility view settings.
  
• 
  You will see the name of website
  under Add this website, so click on add
  to add this website.
  
• 
  Close the window and restart your computer.
  

Try the below mentioned methods and see if it helps you to fix the issue.

Method 2

If issue still persists you may try to trust those websites by following the steps mentioned below.

Step 1: Open the trusted sites

• Open Internet Explorer.
• Press the Alt key to make the tools menu visible.
• In the menu, click Tools.
• Now click Internet Options.
• Go to the Security tab.
• Select Trusted sites.
• Click Sites.

Step 2:

Add the trusted website

• Enter the address of the website you would like to add.
• Click Add.

  windows.

Hope this would help. If issue still persists post back with current status of your computer and result of proposed suggestion, we will be happy to assist you.

  Internet options.
• On the Privacy tab, under Pop-up Blocker, select or clear the
  Turn on Pop-up Blocker check box, and then select OK.
