Under Windows 8 there are some programs that are dysfunctional because they can not access the Internet. When they try, they display various error messages indicating there is no Internet connection. I know for a fact that there is a working Internet connection because things like Firefox, Internet Explorer, Windows Update, etc. connect normally.
This problem has been ongoing for several weeks and I have spent many hours searching for a solution. I have disabled Windows Defender, Windows Firewall, and Avast. Run Network Troubleshooter (found no problems). Running the programs in safe mode made no difference. I have used MSCONFIG/Task Manager to disable all processes (exception Windows). None of these actions have yielded a solution or even a hint as to what might be causing the problem. Anyone else experienced this problem or have any suggestions on what to try next?
