Hi !

I had the same problem.


Run CMD as admininstrator.
In the command line type: netsh winsock reset
Press Enter then restart your PC.

Previous that, I runned the command "sfc /scannow" but I think the instructions above will help.

I hope this helps

Sorry to revive such an old thread, but I am having this exact issue and the solutions mentioned here are not working.

I have a Dell laptop with Win10 installed. One year old. All worked great for that year. Reset the Windows install for reason unrelated to connectivity and since doing so, I can only use the Edge browser. IE and Chrome do not work, along with a host of other connectivity-related applications.

But Edge works fine. Help!

Reset TCP/IP protocol stack with below batch script.
