The same thing kind of happened yesterday, but then suddenly worked. Problem is my connection says..
Ipv4 - internet
Ipv6 - no network connection

I can connect to steam only and when i do nothing shows except for my friends list who i can speak to just fine. It will say when someone started playing a game, but the store does not load. No type of other internet activity works. Skype, browsing, none of it will work.

I tried ethernet and wifi, this happens on both cconnections. I was using vpn recently, but uninstalled all software and restarted.

Any ideas would be great, i really dont want to restore the computer

Oh and everything else works fine. Im sending this from a tablet on the same wifi. Ps4, fire stick and everything else here works flawlessly

Fixed . Had to go into adapter settings - ethernet or wifi - properties, click ipv4 and go properties. Use the following dns server 8 . 8 . 8 . 8 or 8 . 8 . 4 . 4 (no spaces, auto correct issue here) then everything started working.
