Question Website(s?) won't load on pc but do on other devices

[devilgodspider]

the website I've tried loading that refuses to load on only my pc is fandom.com and any page that belongs to that domain/main.

google, youtube, facebook, twitter, gmail, all work properly.

I've updated my LAN driver via my motherboard's website, I've put both DNS' IPv4 and 6 to Google's one, I've cleared my google chrome's cache, I've checked if javascript was enabled and I've flushed the ipconfig command.

Please help

Edit: I pinged the website on cmd, and it connected with 46ms ping average max and min, and had zero packet loss, might as well verify that yes, I'm on a cabled connection.

try different browser?
malware scan your system?

Thank you for the reply!
I tried using Edge and Mozilla, both did not open the website, and a system wide scan got nothing. Also, might I add, that I actually got to the website but after about 30min, I stopped having access to it again... :\

connect to a modem/router? someone blocking you?

Have you tried resetting your TCP/IP stack? (I believe the system wants a reboot after this command is run)

netsh int ip reset

it seems that when I connect to gamepedia... for some stupid but replicable reason, it makes me able to access fandom.com... I've done it 3 times so far, and it has worked every time...

I only have a modem, I've only connected to it via cable on my pc. Well, how do I check if someone is blocking me?

Edit.: to be more specific I access gamepedia.com, again I don't know why, but it's working, I can post screenshots if need be

did it after rebooted for the ip config flush thing, but it was still the same.

That sounds like it could be a DNS issue. By "ip config flush thing", are you referring to ipconfig /flushdns? I suppose there could be a small chance that there is an entry in the HOSTS file although I find it pretty unlikely. If you have access to the router you could login and poke around. (Unless you aren't comfortable and then you could give your ISP a ring if they support the router.

Another possible blocking culprit is a third-party software firewall if you've installed one, though I can't fathom why you got access to fandom.com for 30 minutes then lost access again.

You have malware. Clean install to fix it.

This used to happen back on my old pc as well, but instead of with fandom.com it was with facebook.com.
I recently clean installed this one fyi. and I mention I did a virus scan on my og post.

nah haven't installed a 3rd party firewall or even messed with my firewall after I installed windows 10.

yup that's the cmd I did, how do I access the HOSTS file and the modem via cable?

what os?
On firefox. do F12 and look at the network. see if you are getting error on something

try downloading portable google chrome and run from that. I think you are being hijacked. did you reset your browser settings to all default and test that?

ÕS is Windows 10 64-bit Pro on latest 1903 version, I'll try it when it fails to work again, recently opened gamepedia (god this such a dumb network thing and it's even dumber that it works)

sorry for the super late reply, I finally tried the portable chrome and had the exact same error, also how can I reset all my browser settings back to default on chrome?

Did it, still won't connect to wikia.fandom domain...

To make a quick list of things I've done:

Both Mozilla, Edge, Chrome Portable aren't able to connect too;
I've done the flush and netsh int ip reset commands;
I've Reset Google Chrome;
I've done a malware scan and never meddled with my firewall or gotten 3rd party software related remotely to it;
Mozilla does not report any Network Errors on F12;

So far the only fix (which might I add I HAVE NO IDEA WHY IT EVEN WORKS) is connecting to gamepedia.com, then accessing ANY of their wikis, opening a new tab and then going to ANY fandom.wikia and it opens and fixes it for 30ish minutes.

Please, for the love of god, how the heck is this even fixing it and how is this happening only on my PC.

Alright so get this, I restarted and decided to try the ip flush and netsch thing again, then restart again, and now... it's working. I don't know what to make of this but it's finally solved holy crap. I guess I'll pick the netsch one as the answer.

 

[devilgodspider]

Nevermind, guess the gamepedia.com fix was still in effect.... wikia.com is back to not being able to access unless I do the gamepedia.com fix.... omfg.... this is so annoying.

I tried both, but the issue was unaffected.
