So I've been constantly Alt+F4'ing my laptop's "hey it's time to update" for a while now ... Turned on my system and the only website I can pull up is Facebook.
Is it possible that because I haven't updated that Windows is pitching a fit and saying "no net for you until you update"?
No Microsoft is not going to stop you from going to only Facebook. Something is wrong with it and you need to update the machine for any security fixes.
Please download MiniToolBox, save it to your desktop and run it.
Checkmark the following checkboxes:
- Flush DNS
Report IE Proxy Settings
Reset IE Proxy Settings
Report FF Proxy Settings
Reset FF Proxy Settings
List content of Hosts
List IP configuration
List last 10 Event Viewer log
List Installed Programs
List Users, Partitions and Memory size.
List Minidump Files
Click Go and post the result (Result.txt). A copy of Result.txt will be saved in the same directory the tool is run.
Note: When using "Reset FF Proxy Settings" option Firefox should be closed.
