Windows 10: Nothing can connect to the internet except Edge

So I got a new computer and whenever I try to access anything that isn't Edge it won't work. This includes Steam and Google Chrome. It is Really annoying as I can not use anything except Edge. I tried using netsh commands (as a administrator) but to no avail. Did anyone have a similar problem, if so how did you fix it? If not, can someone PLEASE help me.

:)
