Windows 10 cant connect to the internet while certain apps can?! (FOUND SOLUTION FOR ALL!!!)

[Pablo Q Sanchez]

Hey guys so ive been struggling with my win 8 updated to windows 10 custom build pc. I could only use Microsofts new browser "Microsoft Edge" to browse the internet. Nothing else worked!
I would get messages like:

"skype cant connect to the internet"
"steam cant connect to the internet"
No apps could connect to the internet except microsoft apps... Literally...

But while talking to a microsoft support professional I couldn't get my pc controlled by them because again... the app couldnt connect to the internet.. lol

Later on she was like you have to clean your computer to a fresh install. I was like wth...

While on that chat i told her I couldn't do that because im working on a big project that i shouldn't mess around with!

So she gave me these instructions & you should follow them too!

1. open command prompt as administrator

2. Type this command:
netsh int ip reset

then hit enter

3. When done close it & open another command prompt as administrator.

4. Type this command:
netsh winsock reset

then hit enter

5. After that on this same cmd type:
ipconfig /flushdns

then hit enter

6. Then again type:
ipconfig /renew

7. Restart pc and it works!!!!

Hopefully this works with you all! It should since there was no other way of mine being fixed..

Thank you & have a great day!
