Hello, recently my Windows 10 laptop suddenly could not access the internet anymore. When I would attempt to access a website or google search on any browser (Chrome, Firefox, Opera), an error would be returned saying "[Website] Server IP address not found". Other applications that require your DNS / internet do not work either.
Certain features of Steam will work (like friends, in-game online) but I can't browse the Steam catalog. I use the same WiFi connection on 3 other devices which work fine (that's how I am using this). Ethernet does not work either, nor do hotspots, so I doubt it's a router issue.
However, when I used a proxy server I had no problems connecting to the websites, everything except for Steam (which is supposed to happen) worked fine.
I have tried flushing my DNS and resetting my network settings but no luck. I used the telnet command in Command Prompt and it seems like Port 80 is blocked. I tried enabling it but it remains blocked. I have no anti-virus except for the default Windows Defender (turning it off temporarily does not solve the issue).
Ran a Malware bytes scan and rinsed but no solution. Even using another ISP / router doesn't solve the issue.
I would love to have some help to fix this massive issue, any suggestions and questions are welcome!
Edit: I've using the internet as normal for many years on this PC, only got the problem suddenly this year
