Hi guys,
I have just upgraded from Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 8 Pro and am extremely frustrated with my browser connection. I say browser rather than internet as that seems to be running fine with feeds on the start screen and uploads/downloads continuing in the background with no issues (other machines in the house having no issues using Windows 7). Indeed, software updates connect to the net and download with no issues. I have used Iexplorer, Google Chrome and Opera, the first two have been used both through the new Win8 Start Screen (awful) and in desktop mode with the same effect - Waiting for 'website' which just continues until I close the application.
Only cure I have found is to restart the machine and it works immediately after. I can't give a specific time before it can't access the web again but it is extremely annoying and was not evident throughout my time on Windows 7. Have tried trouble shooting to no avail - says everything OK.
Posted this issue on Microsoft Community and two other users have reported the same effect after upgrade on both desktop and laptops. However, one user has done a clean install and the problem still persists. Have had some help with suggestions to cure but they have not worked for any of us. For information, my post is here: Browser connection problems following Windows 8 Upgrade - Microsoft Community
Getting to the point of reverting back to Windows 7 or try a clean install of either Windows 7 or 8. Please help if you can. Any help would be greatly received.
My system information is as follows:
Board: MSI Z77A-G43
Bios: Version 2.7
VGA: AMD Radeon HD 7850
PSU: Elite Power 500W CoolMaster
Intel Core i7-3770K Quad Core 3.4GHz LGA 1155
MEM: 4x8gb
HDD: Seagate 2TB and Seagate 3TB (both internal with Windows on 2TB)
OS: Windows 8 64bit Professional
