Hello

Since i updated from windows 8 (factory installed) to 8.1 some of my applications, mainly games, are unable to connect to the internet.
These applications include:
- Leauge of Legends (Login server)
- Blizzards Battle.Net client
- Gyazo image uploader

I have tried to:
- Disable the firewall
- Reset the firewall (netsh reset firewall (i think it was))
- Reset the advanced firewall (netsh reset advfirewall (i think it was))

If corrupt files are found that can’t be fixed, try

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth (Observe spaces before /)

Re-run SFC

To view CBS Log

findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >sfcdetails.txt

Search C drive for sfcdetails.txt or navigate to C:\Windows\System32 and scroll down.
