Hi. I have a gaming pc. Core i7. Gigabyte Sniper 5 motherboard with wireless lan, ethernet and intel ethernet. So 2 lan ports and a wireless connection.

My network and internet is working on my mac iPad and phone. But for some reason on my pc it is showing that the connection has internet access but no apps will work. Skype, steam, origin, i.e, chrome. I have tried everything. I can use a personal hotspot via bluetooth with my phone to the pc as it has bluetooth as well and then the internet works with no problem. I am guessing it is a hardware issue ? I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software but it is not working. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

A lot of people seem to be having connection issues. I find that most of them boils down to driver compatibility issues and that getting updated Windows 10 drivers (if available) tends to resolve it. Barring that, there are some other possible quick solutions that we compiled into a little tutorial. It might not fix things for everybody, but they're simple things that are worth giving a try.
