Windows 10: Programs having connectivity issues despite internet connection and ability to use browser.

Many programs are having connectivity issues despite the fact that my internet connection is solid. I can browse the internet, but most programs are unable to connect to servers directly. This includes certain Microsoft programs. most error messages I receive indicate that the programs cannot connect to server and recommend troubleshooting my connectivity. It is worth noting that this is a new to me PC used to which I have added my old PC's hard drives. The computer is an Asus ROG Strix windows 11. I have contacted Microsoft support. The agent believed it was a problem with the individual

Internet Connectivity Issues

So heres the deal. My brother who is behind the opposite wall of me is having internet issues. The router is here in my room and his internet is plugged into the Linksys E2000 via a wire going from it to an ethernet wall socket going to his room and into his computer.

He has been having iffy internet for the past 2 days. Fixed it yesterday by rebooting now the problem has resurfaced.

What we have tried:

• Testing the ethernet cables with a tester. Passed
• Tested onboard ethernet with known working cable (computer hooked up using my connections in my room) Passed
• Checked to make sure there was no static IP address in IPv4 settings. Passed
• Made sure the Network Connection wasnt full on disabled. Passed
• Swapped the cable leading from the router to the wall outlet in my room. Passed and worked for a few minutes.

With regards to that last bullet point, the computer is no longer getting internet again despite working for a few minutes. Testing the new cable again, tells us that pins 1 and 2 are "open". That is the second cable in a row that the tester is spitting this message out on.

Any ideas guys? Im out of them.

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?
