    Lost internet randomly, have access momentarily after restarting


    So, I randomly lost internet connection yesterday. I’ve tried a plethora of thing while troubleshooting, change dns, refresh dns, a whole host of commands in command prompt, reinstalling drivers, static IP, etc. It says I have internet connection in settings, and I have internet on all of my other devices but I am unable to connect still. I can connect for about 10 seconds after a fresh startup of the PC, but then I get a sound notification like something just connected via USB and I lose internet. Any help would be greatly appreciated, this problem has stumped me and is super frustrating!

    :)

    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?

    Completely lost internet connection

    So I randomly lost all internet connection on my desktop PC through Ethernet and WiFi. All other devices work on the network except for the PC. I have tried all steps I’ve found through google to fix it but it hasn’t worked. I honestly have no clue what to do.

    PC SPECS:
    Intel i5 6500
    Gtx 1060
    Msi b150m gaming pro mobo
