Hi everyone, I'm new here and hope I'm doing it right otherwise lemme know.
This started about a month ago, suddenly when I started my PC it seemed to have no internet connection, well I found out a few pages work mainly: youtube, facebook, google and some seemingly random ones like obscure pc help forums (not this one tho). Everything else gave me a 'connection timed out' message. Discord, Spotify etc also got no connection.
After a few minutes however everything suddenly worked. Since then it has happened occasionally. Sometimes rebooting the PC fixes it. Sometimes it goes away after 10 min or so after reboot. In the last days everything was fine but today the problem persisted for about 3 hours and nothing helped until it suddenly randomly worked again.
The only change I made on my system before this started happening was changing the drive where my pagefile.sys is located but I cannot see that being connected.
Things I've tried that haven't helped:

Things I've tried that haven't helped:
- rebooting the cable modem or resetting to default settings
- flushing DNS cache, winsock reset
