Windows 10: W10P cannot reachs many sites for the last 2 weeks

Good Morning.

I own a Lenovo E540 laptop with the following configuration:

IntelR CoreTM I7-4702MQ CPU @2.20 GHz 2.19 GHz

RAM: 8.00 GB

System type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Windows 10 Pro version 1909 Installed 30/12/2019 OS Build 18363.752


It has a legit W10P coming from a legit W7P, the upgrade happened in Dec 2019. It has a 1 Tb HDD and 16 Gb SDD.

At the beginning it was slow but then it started to work in a decent mode. But I noticed it was and is not using the SSD as a cache, it was/is not using it at all. W7P was using the SSD as cache I cannot compare W10P vs W7P, it would be an insult for W7P.

But since the previous week 20-27 March there were some updates and suddenly I have huge issues with connectivity. The sites you see below are not reachable but others are reachable. Even Microsoft.com has issues, it must be refreshed 4-5 time to reach it. If I shutdown and start the PC it works reaches any site for a couple of minutes then it starts again to fail reaching sites. There are sites I can reach.

Norton, Defender, AVAST, Malwarebytes cannot find any issue.

I f I use an Android phone with the same WI-FI SSID everything is OK.

At the same time Microsoft Edge is inert, doesn’t accept any address/command.

Is anybody able to elaborate on these issues and let us know how to fix them ?

Thank You.

Just wanted to throw this in here. Mike, this is a nifty quick small app from Nirsoft to switch your DNS on the fly without messing with the adapter settings, or anything else. Suggest also that you do a IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS

Interesting but doesn't seem to change DNS in IPV4.
