I'm having a really weird issue with my computer at the moment. All of a sudden I'm having an issue where after boot up my computer has an internet connection and I'm able to open/use web browsers,open apps, or launch a game. However, after about 2 mins of use, my computer acts like it doesn't have internet. I say "acts" because I know it does. Examples:
1) I'll boot up the computer and go on Chrome to do whatever (YouTube, Twitter, etc.) after a short time nothing new loads and if I attempt to refresh the page, I get hit with a generic "no connection" error. Yet all the while task manager still shows an internet connection ?
2) How I know for a fact I still have internet is that when I boot up my computer and in the 2 min threshold where I can actually use the internet, load up a game that requires an internet connection (ex. Valorant) I can play it with no issues. While in a game I loaded up chrome and tried to go to YouTube, no connection there, even though I'm in an online lobby. I can only load up a game however in that 2 min window, otherwise the computer thinks I have no connection ?
Things To Note:

Things To Note:
- This issue only appears on my PC, my laptop and other devices work perfectly
- I have tried this on both a wired connection and WIFI, same result on both.
- Both wireless and LAN drivers are up to date
- This wasn't happening last night before a Windows update, I have since reverted back to a previous state, problem still persists
- I have entered these commands in cmd, netsh winsock reset, netsh int ip reset, ipconfig /release, ipconfig /renew, ipconfig /flushdns. Problem still persists
- I have no third-party antivirus to possibly interfere with my connection
- I have tried the "Network reset" button in settings, problem still persists
- Weirdly, the only thing on my computer that will load and connect after the 2 min threshold, is Discord, it's the only thing that requires a connection that is having no issue connecting.
- Certain websites on Chrome will load up, but nothing on the website will. Twitter takes me to the home page where I can see layout of twitter but no posts. YouTube loads the home page but doesn't show any videos. Most other websites hit me with Google Chrome saying I have no internet.
