  1. Opening browsers "disables" the internet connection for some programs


    Good day, I'm stumped, and very frustrated, with this.


    Hoping this goes into the correct topic stream as I don't really know under what to search.


    When I open browsers Opera, Firefox, Internet Explorer, after a while the internet connection for some programs is disabled:

    - Outlook still have Office 2013

    - Dropbox

    - even Edge browser

    - copying data directly from browser to Excel for example. This takes about 10 minutes before it is done, instead of immediately.


    As with Opera disabling the <CTRL> <SHIFT> <END> combination for some stupid reason, I know the answer is out there.


    But I've not been able to find it yet.


    I would really appreciate some assistance.

    :)
