Some users said that by enabling/checking the check box for TLS 1.0 the
problem resolved, so try this first then if it didn't help try the rest of
the steps.

Not much left.

Try your Internet Options Control Panel - Connections Tab -
LAN Settings Button
and make sure that the Automatic Configuration Script and Proxy
checkboxes are unchecked.

You might also want to try creating a new user on your machine and see
if that user account also has the same problems.

I got exactly the same problem, however after a reboot it works just fine for 10 minutes, then suddenly HTTP pages can no longer be displayed, while HTTPS and FTP connections continue to work.

Therefore I don't think there's anything wrong with my system, otherwise it would not work after a reboot, and then stop again after 10 minutes.

What could it be that kicks in after 10 minutes and stops HTTP working but not HTTPS and FTP???

I've monitored closely with Process Explorer, but no luck...

It is not the modem or the router, because it only affects one laptop on the WLAN, not the other, and not the desktop connected vie Ethernet cable.

One of the strangest things I've come across...

Any help would be appreciated.
