Can ping any websites but can’t access them

Situation: After a new windows update, I can’t access any websites. However, I can ping them such as google.com and yahoo.com. I just can’t access them with page can’t be displayed message.

Troubleshooting: 1. If you have any anti virus or security software, disable it for a test.

2. Reinstall Drivers.

3. ipconfig /release /renew.

4. Change the DNS server, for example use 8.8.8.8.

5. Flush DNS by running these commands: ipconfig /flushdns and ipconfig /registerdns.

6. Run netsh winsock reset command.

7. Make sure no proxies set -> all default obtain automatically.

8. Make sure it is multihomed computer or the computer with multiple Network connections..

    Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults:

    netsh int ip reset reset.log

    Reset Firewall to installation defaults:

    netsh advfirewall reset

    Flush DNS resolver cache:

    Renew DNS client registration and refresh DHCP leases:

    ipconfig /registerdns

    Flush routing table (reboot required):
