Question

Hello, so my problem is that my firewall seems to be blocking my internet connnection, I have the follwing message :

Security or firewall settings might be blocking the connection.

Your Internet access is blocked.

I have a perfectly fine internet connection and when I diagnose my connection problems it tells me I have a good internet connection but mentions that my firewall settings might be blocking the connection. I have spend hours stressfully trying to find out the problem but I just can't seem to find the solution would somebody a bit more experienced with computers be able to provide me with some help please it would be greatly appreciated,

If you are using Internet Explorer :

 go to IE tools / internet Options / Advanced /  perform a reset on the settings.

If this doesn't work : 

 Open Start > Settings > Update & security > Troubleshoot 
 Click Network adapters and run Troubleshooter.

If the issue was not fixed 

 press Windows + R and devmgmt.msc
 then expand Network adapters, 
 Right click your adapter and  Uninstall 
 Exit and reboot. Windows should detect the network adapter then reinstall it. 

If still not working :

 Start / Settings / Network & Internet / Status 
 Click Network reset at the bottom.
