Hello Nathan Maguire,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

May I know if you have had the chance to check the other reply yet. Updating Windows to the latest version could help with many issues, so I highly suggest you do it first.

Before we proceed further, may I know all the steps you've tried so far to help you better?

In the meantime, you can try disabling IPv6 if it is enabled.

• Type "Control Panel" in the search bar and press Enter.
• Go to Network and Internet > Network and sharing Center > Select the Connection you are using > Properties.
• Uncheck IPv6 if it is checked,
• Select "Apply" and OK.
• Restart your computer.
