[@coralinefelix3130]

Thank you, it worked! But Why does this issue keep happening? Now I know how to fix it, but I wonder if it has something to do with my VPN subscription...

[@j4yj4y52]

I’m assuming it does since mine didn’t start doing this until I got a vpn what vpn do u use?

[@IR_POLICE]

Same! I just bought a VPN server as usual but only now it is that this issue occurs, i believe it does have something to do with the VPN.

[@yus527_]

It is, in troubleshoot it says exactly that.

[@FIGHT-AR3NA]

I just uninstalled my VPN and it got fixed

[@thunderstruck7878]

I’ve had my vpn for a while. Never had this problem, until the dumb windows update

[@pineapple..]
