Many websites not working for ME only

I'm finding a lot o sites are timing out all day today, yet they;re all site that rarely if ever go down. So i checked one of those sites that allows you to check any given website and it tells me it's on my end and that those sites are up. I scanned with malwarebytes and a few others, tried 3 different browsers, check my task manager for things normally not running and checked my startup items. Nothing has changed. restart the PC and those sites are still down. Any ideas?

Some anti virus blocks access to some sites, or only loads using their search bar.

Not running any AV and havent changed a thing since yesterday when all sites worked.

I don't understand how to do whats in that post. I'm pre noob when it comes to internet connections and IP and DNS and all that....it's greek to me. I did try a laptop and same issue, so itls not the computer. I also did unplug the router for a minute and plugged it back in to no avail. I;d call my ISP but by the time i actually talk to someone i'll have dies of old age.

Nevermind, i was able to find a automated phone number that checks for ISP issues and it said there are issues in my ares they are working on right now.
