Hi Alex-

Thank you for you kind reply. Im wondering why it blocks the social media websites.
Just to confirm you are not connected to the VPN right?

If you are connected to VPN kindly turn if off to access social media sites.

If there is no VPN on your laptop, kindly check the firewall on the control panel then turn it off then check if the issue will resolve.

If not, i want you to reset your network on the settings and check if it will helps.

Thanks.

Hi AlexanderWall-

I'm Kevin B. Independent advisor and a Windows 10 user like you. i do apologize for the inconvenience that you are having your laptop and social media platform, let me help you with this.

If i may ask, What browser are you using to access those websites ?

What is the status of your network on your laptop that you are seeing in the lower right corner of your screen ?

Since you mentioned that you don't have internet issues, have you tried to reset your network on the settings of the laptop ?

3.Make sure the Startup type is set to Automatic and click Start if the service is not already running.

4.Click Apply followed by OK.

5.Reboot your PC to save changes.

Are you running any security software that has some type of parental control?

Hi Kevin

thank you for your reply.

I am using Microsoft edge, bing search engine and google search engine.

Status of my network....just says I am connected to the internet.

I tried your suggestions and neither worked.  It seems my computer is blocking social media sites for some reason?   I confirm I can access all other sites other than social media.

Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated,

thanks you

Alex
