Windows 10: Outlook can't connect to Internet -- and all other applications can

Outlook is reporting that and behaving as if it can't connect to the Internet. Every other application I use, including Chrome and Edge, are connecting to the Internet. I have not changed Outlook settings since I installed it years ago. Microsoft needs to address this ASAP. I can't be the only person who's affected. Michael Ryan

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?

 

Is it possible to share internet connection via remote desktop?

RDP is not capable of Internet sharing, so you can't share Internet using RDP with standard applications. There are many way to share Internet from a Windows box to another one. I suggest you to use VPN. You should do following steps:

1. Run VPN Server on your server with unlimited internet access
   
2. Connect to VPN server from your limited computer
   

 

I can´t connect to the internet on applications

I just upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and I ca´t connect to internet in any application besides the ones that come with Windows. For Example: I tried to sign my account of spotify in the application and says it is not connected to the internet while
I am using Microsoft Edge. Also while trying to download uTorrent it downloaded fine in the browser, but then in the application to install the program it can't download anything and this has happened with every other application that needs internet. Please
