unusual problem has cropped up in my window 10 , use chrome
(Chrome is up to date
Version 120.0.6099.225 (Official Build) (64-bit)

trouble is: my wifi icon( clamshell) by clock shows I'm on the internet. I can get to the first stage of a web site ( cache)
but second layer won't open.. ( google main /second layer page).Unless I reboot the PC ..
I've checked my aps running and the only big one open is malwareservice .

I'd google the situation but the question would be too vague for google to find .. therefore I was hoping someone would know a 'work around' ..
I've scanned for virus's / malware .. clean.. My main hardrive is 23% free . 16Gb ram / up to date on microsoft updates .
should I flush my dns cache ..? maybe a sfc /scannow ?

thanks

terry
