Hey guys. I've been having a series of issues with my PC that seem to be related in some way that I need help diagnosing.
My chrome, discord, and steam are all having trouble connecting to the internet while my Microsoft Edge works perfectly fine. This problem was first noticed two weeks ago today but it was solved with a restart of windows. It appeared again a week ago but it did not go away with a restart and it took my discord 15 minutes to launch when it normally takes seconds. However, the issue disappeared by the next day. Now today I am having the same issue. It has come up a few times in between but restarting has fixed it. Only on the past two Saturdays has this issue not been solved by restarting. I suspected that a weekly virus scan could be to blame but my only scanner, Malwarebytes, has not been scanning. I tried playing a single player game today but I ran into frequent video freezes but the audio was unaffected. Task manager shows no stress to any components and CCleaner says the HDD is in good health. I feel crazy writing that the day of the week is affecting my computer but it doesn't seem like a coincidence. If anyone has any ideas, they would be appreciated.
