Computer Hope

I have clean installs of Chrome on my Win 10 PC and my wife's. Both are MSFT Surfaces - hers a 3, mine a 5.

There are some websites that load just fine on Firefox, but time out in Edge and Chrome - comes back with "Check Firewall or Proxy". They load just fine in Chrome on my wife's PC.

Clean installs of Chrome in both. All Histories and Cookies have been cleared on mine. This is happening in reg and Incognito modes.

Any suggestions?

Create a new user on the system and see if that new user account has the same issues.

I've seen before a corrupt user profile cause weirdness like this with one browser fine and others messed up.

If this solves your problem you can then move to using the new user profile and data will still be accessible to the old profile -or- you can copy it from old to new user data location.

Do you mean a new user profile for Chrome? Or for Windows?

sorry for long delay in getting back to you... meant user profile for windows as sometimes they can get corrupt and mess with browser and system behavior.
