Windows 10: Opening Firefox/ browser/Discord etc internet lag about 5-6 seconds

Hello,

Win10 Pro 64.

I'm experiencing strange lag when internet "opens". This when clicking on some program like web browser, Discord etc. The program itself opens instantly, but it waits for internet connection (empty space inside browser). The lag is about 5 sec and annoying. I managed to get rid of that, but after updating to new 2004 update it came back. Not sure what the reason was.
Did many things.

Internet connection itself is fast and snappy when the connection been made to associating app. Gives low ping and max speed almost all the time. Some restrictions from 3rd party sites as YouTube regarding covid-19.

What could cause a lag like that? Noticed that new Edge does not open at all before the connection is there. Firefox opens instantly, but empty before connection kicks in. Discord takes time and waits for connection before it opens.

This is NOT a 2004 update bug. had the same with 1909.
Any solutions are appreciated, thank you!

Specs can be found under profile. Winver is 2004 (build 19041.264).

RE: Firefox. I use this:

SpeedyFox - Boost Firefox, Skype, Chrome, Thunderbird in a Single Click!

Or this:



Although as suggested there could be other factors if it happens with all internet connected apps.

You can aslo try Firefox safe mode:

Don't be stuck at Firefox too much. This is with all programs that use internet (Discord, Speedtest, Skype etc.). I have a backup with Macrium pre 2004 update, no delay (minimal) with Google search page as start page, or with any other internet apps Skype, Discord.

I'm also comparing the result to what is was before. The delay is usually minimal, only 5 ms ping. I do not believe Norton as problem starter. I had Norton with 1909 and internet worked without hiccups. This has something to do with drivers for acceleration etc, Windows firewall has to be checked. Could uninstall Norton to rule that out. Nvidia drivers or something similar. I should make a recording of how it behaves.

Tracert gave up to 25 hops max was 125 ms, after that timed out.

Same delay without Norton installed !

Firefox in safe mode, no impact. Trying Safe mode with networking, is that different?!

It's working OK in Windows safe mode. How to troubleshoot where/what the problem is.
