  • @Hey @grimms54 thanks for the update!

    When you have a moment can we try the following?

    • Run the System File Checker tool then Check for Windows and GPU updates  
    • Connection and Advance Connection Guides 
    • Untick the options in LAN Settings (make sure nothing is checked under Proxy Server) 
    • Change DNS settings (You can use the public google DNS primary: 8.8.8.8, secondary: 8.8.4.4, unless there is a different DNS you would rather use)
