reCAPTCHA not working on any browser. (windows 10)

So I have tried practically everything; from resetting all the caches on all browsers, deleting temp files, uninstalling and reinstalling, changing the "host" file in some file destination; I have also installed an antivirus which has detected nothing. It seems that my captcha doesn't even open or register; and it leaves websites loading infinitely when i choose to log in.

I tried on Opera, Opera Gx, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.

I think that the problem has to be from windows rather than the websites because it applies to all of them and they all react in the same way.

one weird detail: it does work on Microsoft edge. But on ALL other browsers it does not.

    Hi,

    It may be more of an ISP issue. Does the captcha work on any other device on the same network?

    Glad you got it sorted :)

    Did the network reset to solve it? If that was a case, it was just a misconfiguration :)

    Thanks. As of now, are there any modifications to the host file?
