So I just did a clean installation of Windows 10 on my new pc and after installing the motherboard's drivers, I head to Windows Update to make sure my Windows are updated. But it refuses to connect to the server. Trying to fix the problem, I did another clean install of Windows a few hours ago, that only made things worse. Now, I can't connect to Steam or Uplay or even Xsplit, the software that came with my motherboard. Using Chrome to connect to the internet works fine. I tried the Windows Update troubleshooting only to find out the thing I knew, that I cant connect to the server. Any of you have any idea what might be going on and what should I try to do?

Specs:
R5 1600 3.2 GHz
Corsair 16GB 3000Mhz (running at 2666MHz, wouldn't post otherwise)
Gigabyte AX370 Gaming K5 (F2 bios)
