    Not able to access the internet with some programs


    Hello, I`ve been having a strange issue on my Windows 10 computer. I am not able to access the internet with some programs, such as: Tunnel Bear VPN, Rockstar Games Launcher, Netflix app, Oracle Virtual Box, etc.

    I tried disabling Firewall, resetting it, reset ip4 netsh commands, nothing helped.

    So I was wondering if someone could help me with this issue, thank you.

    :)

    Unable to access internet with certain programs

    I have a Compaq Presario CQ62 running Windows 10. I am unable to access the internet with a couple programs. I downloaded the update from Windows 7 to 10. Everything runs fine but HP's support program and Print Shop V22.

    I googled the problem and tried some of the suggestions listed, but I still can't access the internet. I am using Firefox and it connects fine along with Norton Internet Security. Any suggestions?

    Window 10 update has blocked some programs access to the internet.

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community.

    The programs may not able to access the Internet due to an issue with the Windows Sockets API which is a technical specification that defines how the Windows Network software should access the network services, especially TCP/IP.

    Please follow the below steps to perform a Winsock reset:

    1. Right click on the Windows icon at the bottom left corner of your screen.
    2. Click on Command Prompt (Admin).
    3. Type ‘netsh winsock reset’ and press enter.
    4. Restart the system and check if the programs are able to access the internet.

    You can also follow the steps in this
    article     to fix the network connection issues in Windows.

    Hope it helps.
