    I have this weird problem that happens every so often.Whenever it wants a program like Microsoft Edge would just open up and you can'tclose it because it keeps opening back up.Also, if you click on search or any other thing that you need to input something1's will just go across by itself.I had Windows 10 reinstalled and had a SSD hard drive put in at the beginingof this month which fixed the internet problem and the weird problemwas fixed for 2 1/2 weeks but it's starting back up again.The person who worked on my computer has no idea what could becausing this problem.The scary thing is one ti

    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?

    Slow Internet speed on only one computer.

    Hi Cody,

    Slow internet speed on one of your computer could be due to the following:

    • Outdated network adapter driver
    • Different Wi-Fi chipset
    • Computer processing speed

    Make sure that the network driver of your computer(s) are always updated.

    We also suggest you to contact your internet service provider for them to check your internet connection speed and give you more information.

    Feel free to post back if you have other concerns.

    Slow internet problem

    Hi Santunag,

    My name is Lee and I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

    I got a few suggestions that you may try:

    → Check for pending Windows Update

    • It is possible that your PC is currently Updating in the background which sometimes causes Internet slowness

    • Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Check for updates

    → If that did not help, it is best to re-install the Wireless Driver to the latest

    • You may visit your computer manufacturer website to download the latest Network Card driver

    ➤ Additional Steps to try for slow internet issue

    → Hard Shutdown (It is best to start the troubleshooting after a fresh reboot):

    • Close all running programs and apps

    • Press and Hold the power button for 30 seconds to shutdown the device. Note that even if the screen went off already, keep on holding the power button until the 30 second mark.

    • Turn on the device again.

    → Check possible problematic driver;

    • Press Windows + X, select Device Manager

    • Expand "Network Adapters"

    • Check if the Network adapter driver has any problem (Yellow bang, Red mark, disabled symbol)

    → Run the troubleshooter:

    • This is while the device is connected to WiFi network and disconnect the Hotspot

    • Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Internet Connection > Run the Troubleshooter

    → Restart the Network Adapter driver

    > This step is still done in Device Manager > Network Adapters

    • Right click the WiFi driver from the list and choose disable devices

    • After it has been disabled, do the same step and enable it

    → Run the following commands in Command Prompt

    • Open command Prompt with Administrative access (Search in Cortana and right click the Command Prompt App and select Run as Administrator)

    • Type the following command (one at a time):

    ipconfig /flushdns

    ipconfig/release

    ipconfig/renew

    → If the same problem persist, try resetting network:

    • Settings > Network & Internet > Status > Scroll down and select Network Reset

    → Reset your Router

    • Check your Router manual on how to do this

    If my suggestion did not solve the issue, please reply back so we can try other step.

    Kind Regards,

    < / L e e >
