OK. Please reboot between doing that.
no, makes no difference.
Mmmm. OK, just so I'm clear....you can still access the internet normally from this PC, or not at all?
Apologies, I see in your first post you said you can use the internet normally.
Please do the following:
1. Click
2. In the Search box, type run and hit enter
3. Copy and paste the following bold text into the run command box and hit enter
notepad %windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
4. Copy the text that appears in Notepad, and paste it here in your next reply.
Also, please try this:
1. Click Start
2. In the search box, type cmd
3. In the list that appears, right-click on cmd.exe and choose Run as administrator
4. In the command window that opens, type ipconfig /flushdns and hit enter.
5. Check to see whether you can access Windows Update.
Regards,
Golden
