For sometime now I have been having issues with my browser and email connection to the Internet on my old Dell XPS 15.
It keeps failing to connect to websites and comes up with the error message:-
All the time the laptop itself is showing that it does have an Internet connection, (fan symbol rather than mesh globe and shows 'secured, connected'), everything always continues to work fine on the iPhone & iPads.
I have been using Opera (my default) today and after lunch it started playing up again so I switched to Edge and the problem went away ... until a while ago. I rebooted the laptop and everything is now okay ... until the next time ... and that is the regular pattern.
I have switched my router to use Google Public DNS ages ago.
I have recently used ipconfig/flushdns each day.
Done ipconfig/release ... ipconfig/renew.
Browsers are all up-to-date.
Windows Home 10 20H2 Ver 2002 Build 19042.630.
16GB memory.
Any ideas welcome.
