Web Browsers not working in Windows 10

All web browsers were working fine this morning.  I installed windows updates and now none of them are working, chrome, internet explorer, and edge.  I am connected to the network, I have a valid IP.  Tracert for websites returns correct data.  I tried uninstalling the updates I installed this morning.  I deleted the network adapter drivers, downloaded the latest from the manufacturer, and then reinstalled.  I tried the running the commands
1. netsh winsock reset catalog
2. netsh int ip reset reset.log hit
After reboot still did not work.

goto internet options, connections tab and make sure there isn't a automatically detect or proxy server would be the first thing I would check.

Try a different user profile
Try uninstalling these updates

I am having the same issue on two different user profiles

I already tried uninstalling the updates

I unchecked the option to automatically detect proxy server and that did not help

If you tried each of the above, look in C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts to see if there are any redirects (there should be no active addresses)

Try the following (one of which repeats the above):

Open cmd.exe with Run as Administrator
Then  netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt
Also, ipconfig /flushdns followed by net stop dnscache followed by net start dnscache
Then restart the computer

I ended up having to restore to factory defaults to fix the issue.

Web Browsers

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.
