Windows 10 browsers not working properly
I upgraded a month or so ago and all was fine but the last few weeks most web sites fail. I know my network is ok as other computers are ok and from the problem host oing and ssh work just fine (ip address and hostname). Google seems to work ok, most of the time, but most sites from google time out. The same if I type the site in by hand. I have tried Chrome and Edge, I was unable to download firefox, the web site timed out. I have AVG antivirus suite installed, I have tried to disable all its componets to no avail.
i have a local web server XAMP running and I cannot reach it locally, but from another host on my net it works ok.
i am using WiFi, but so are all my hosts.
I tried wireshark but it was inconclusive, I never did see any traffic. Comming or going, but I know comming works as the server was working, so I must have been on wrong interface (I had clicked on wifi). Netstat was also inconclusive, I could see the connection to google and the web server but not the timed out connections. I'm at a loss as to what to try next, any suggestions?

PS my VMs in Virtualbox have the same issue so its a pretty low level problem.
PPS forgot to mention I tried connecting with netcat but it timed out just like the browsers.
